Where do they think their electricity comes from? Solar is never going amount to much in New England, wind is unreliable, they don’t have geothermal, they hate nukes. They do import some of their power from Quebec hydro, but not all of it (and the Quebec hydroelectric projects aren’t exactly environmentally benign).
Every weekday AM, I watch a show from Canada called :HIGHWAY THRU HELL”-—which follows major towing/recovery firms cleaning up various wrecks on local highways.
Very, very interesting. Men with NO PHD is Physics are pulling thousands of pounds (100,000 +) of wrecks out of ditches or up off the sides of steep slopes down. One event even showed a BARGE was used in a large lake to recover a SUV that had gone off a curve & down a steep hill—coming to a stop about 70 feet from a pristine lake.
They took the wrecker & crew out on the barge——go/t cables attached, turned & flipped the SUV onto it’s wheels, and down to the barge-—from the barge-—and took the wreck back to the yard. NOT a drop of contamination into the lake..Was 10 miles from barge landing to point of vehicle recovery.
MY POINT”””
Let’s see how many of these highway wrecks will be recovered in the future when there are NO FOSSIL FUELS.
NONE......NONE—30 ton 50 TON wreckers-— NEED REAL POWER.
EVEN your pissant compact needs power to pull it out of a wreck.
If I remember right, New York is importing more and more Quebec Hypro power because of the shutdown of the Indian Point nuclear reactors. No hydro left to bail out New England.
Mass doesn’t get any Quebec Hydro. We almost did but the politicians killed the project.
