If you fail to see whats funny about that then I am not sure I could point it out without hurting your feelings.
Another issue with Seabrook is the fact that having one reactor is problematic enough for folks who live here on the coast. Ever try getting off the barrier islands (seabrook, salisbury and hampton are ALL barrier islands) at 4pm on a hot steamy summer day? Now let's add in a catastrophic failiure - emergency horns sound the alarm at 2pm - the temperature is a steamy 90 degrees the beaches are PACKED - where do people go??? If there is a seabreeze - then what about all the folks inland? Chernobyl and Three Mile Island are worst case scenarios, but Plymouth MA and Vermont's power stations have had critical problems which both turned into evacuation events...that had OK endings.
I vote yes to NH building one - but let's put it in Berlin or Gorham - use one of the old paper mill sites....it'll bring jobs to that region and energy to the state.
