I thought there was a nuke power plant right down the road in Seabrook, N.H. Does any part of Maine benefit from it?
Take note. Even Maine’s two GOP Senators vote against drilling.
That should make the constituents pleased.
Texas is happy to take some more Northerners in as the economics situation here is bright as we drill our way ahead to prosperity.
And to think they shut down Maine Yankee years ago...
Betcha they’re regretting that now!
What? The enviros still don’t like nuclear power?
If I lived in Maine (and I have relatives who do), I can just imagine myself talking with some enviro-nut....
Me: “I need energy to heat my home! Let me burn wood.”
Enviro-nut (in whiney voice): “You can’t have it! It’ll endanger the environment!”
Me: “So ...you’d rather have me and my family die, just to save a bunch of trees?”
Enviro-nut: “Yes! We’re over populated! Man is a scourge on the Earth! We need to get rid of Neanderthals like you so the Earth can be tended by the proper-thinking people like me and make it the paradise it was meant to be...”
At that point in the conversation, Free Republic rules prevent me from saying what I would do to said enviro-whacko. Suffice it to say it involves the phrase “You first.”
