Real power plants will produce electric power when ever it is needed. Fake power plants (aka "alternate energy") only produce power when they feel like it, when the sun is up or the wind is blowing. We get plenty of cold dark calm nights up here and we need enough real power plants to carry the full load of the entire state. We cannot depend upon fake power plants.
It would be best if the real power plants were owned by New Hampshire electric companies and located in New Hampshire. The present deal where companies like PSNH are expected to buy electricity on the open market from out of state generation operations is dangerous. When power becomes short the out of state operators may not sell to us up here. If we owned the generators, and they were located in New Hampshire we could be assured of receiving the plant's full output in times of shortage.
And while we are at it, we ought to built a decent gas pipeline out to the Bakken. Out there they have so much natural gas that the frackers are paying people to get rid of it all. Private industry would be happy to build such a pipeline if we could keep the greenies off their backs.
