Remember them? They vowed to shut down Seabrook. They did succeed in shutting down reactor II after millions of dollars already spent. And we paid for it! Ironically at the 30th anniversary of the march, the head of the clamshell wished he had a little foresight and allow reactor II to be built. The consensus was PSNH was to shut down the Bow coal plant after the reactors were built. Thirty years later Bow is still one of the worst polluter in New England!

PSNH is trying to build an LNG pipeline from Portsmouth to Bow. Bow will then be converted to gas which is clean! The NIMBYs are preventing the line to be built, yet they don't care if Bow burn coal for another 25 years!

I guess nobody can win unless we take Germany as an example. The government is subsidizing solar panels on roof tops instead of alternative energies such as wind farms and hydroelectric from a foreign country. (Northern Pass). Dean Kamem in Manchester set a good example of solar panels on his commercial buildings. The city of Manchester is currently exploring capping 9 acres of the old rubbish dump with solar panels.
