A comment on the other voices, “Nuclear Energy Derailed by Politics”: I was pleasantly surprised that the BDN decided to feature this excellent observation in their newspaper. I didn’t know much about nuclear until recently attending Maine Legislative hearings on the Aroostook Renewable Gateway wind farm and power line legislation. More than one engineer talked about the viability and reliability of nuclear, including building generation capability closer to the power needy areas.
However, the current administration apparently has blinders on and is focused on installing unreliable solar and wind power that can devastate Maine’s scenic beauty and require the seizing of private property for more ugly and dangerous overhead power carrying lines.
