Wrong, it was two governors, Thopmson and Sununu, both conservative. Sununu was one of the consultants before he had a sniff if the corner office. The PTB helped themselves by putting him in office. His qualfication was he sat on the budget committee board in Salem. He was also my neighbor. I know the arrogant bastard well.
As for what you believe caused the costs to skyrocket, wrong again. It is easy the blame liberal protesters but the cost of money under Carter was primary. Secondly was poor construction management, primarily unions. Thirdly was the misunderstanding of the elasticity of demand. When the prices skyrocketed, necessarily because of covering the high costs of construction and overabundant capacity, people used less and power companies opted out. The plant had insufficient income. Went bankrupt. Courts caused a price fixing scheme which now forces NH to have the highest power costs in USA. It was never the protesters.
Other states have higher electric costs. Other states also have nuke plants with lower rates than NH. Seabrook was held-up for years by your liberal buds whining about the environment. One huge reason for its high cost.
