——Any conservationist should welcome an activity that produces fuel with no CO2 emissions and provides cheap energy while reducing the amount of nuclear waste to near zero.-——
At a previous job, a hardline Brookline MA liberal told me she regretted protesting Seabrook, and now supports nuclear power.
I almost keeled over.
Unfortunetly, I am with her , not because I fear nuclear power , but because it is too costly. We on PSNH in NH have the highest electric rates in the country. We wouild have been much better off buying power from Quebec Hydro than ever building Seabrook. It would have been much cheaper.
Also, we have plenty of wood waste in the state to fuel several more biomass fired wood boiler turbines.
What we need is more pipeline capacity to get the natural gas from NY, PA and OH up here to reduce our dependence on home heating oil and propane to heat our homes.
