When will MA get serious about energy policy and expand the nuclear base?

People don't think of their word choice and made political discourse shrill. You post is an example of that. It's why people tune out.

Everyone is trying to add capacity while pushing electrification. We need more capacity, a lot more. Hydro is the best source bar none. We should be maximizing it and we're not. Maine has plenty to do with it. You need the infrastructure to move power. This is why adding capacity in rural America is so difficult. We need more infrastructure, not only for hydro but for other clean sources and the strategy included power lines that run through Maine and elsewhere. We need more solar and wind farms and we need to be putting nuclear reactors online, not taking them offline as has been the strong trend. We make these things very very difficult in the US. As I said the new bill will go a long way, along with the infra bill recently passed. It's gonna take federal action to change the dynamics. And it would help if there were no war induced energy crisis for a while while we ramp.
