Do Shumlin or Sanders have plant to replace that lost capacity, besides buy it from Canada?
Vermonters need to stay in the dark.
This dipshit writer can't even keep it straight, unless they meant to convey '24 Hundred Attended Protest', which wouldn't suprise me either..

Another thing they protest is wind power- Protect Our Ridges! They don’t want to see turbines lining those hilltops.
I bet they are not keen on foreign oil. I do know they think burning wood is OK.
I was researching some issues for the Ben & Jerry’s lawsuit long ago, and discovered that the major source of dioxins in Vt is from wood stoves. This settles on the land, cows eat it, it gets in their milk, and the dioxin goes into ice cream. “But that’s OK!” I was told, “It’s from woodstoves, not like the evil dioxin that comes from planet-raping corporations!” Dioxin, btw, also comes from the paper they package the stuff in.
They protest all forms of energy because at their core they are anti-human.
I hate to use the term “idiots”, but in all honesty, where do they think they’re going to get the electricity to power their electric cars, TVs, telephones, washers, dryers, lights, heat, air conditioning and a few dozen other modern conveniences?
With or without clothing?
The leading cause of lung cancer in third world countries is...wood burning. Incomplete combustion in makeshift wood burning applications like wood stoves used for cooking and heating produces polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are carcinogenic. But, again, according to the wackos, that is okay, because it is lung cancer from a "natural" source, not something caused by eeeeeevil corporations (i.e., tobacco companies).

Let them wallow in their own feces...
With the incredible drop in prices and increase in supply of natural gas, nukes are pretty much a non-issue. Why would anybody want to built a nuke instead of a nat gas plant?
Yet, the fine citizens of Westfield, MA are opposed to one.
