We moved to NH in the 1980s and what people told us is to avoid electric heat. I think Seabrook improved things with electricity prices but it's something that's always stayed with me. There's an overall shortage of electricity in New England. NH generates more than enough power for the state but a lot of it is sold outside the state due to demand. I think that we should put in another nuclear reactor at Seabrook but permitting to construction is typically 10 years in the US.

I don't know if you're aware of this but electricity prices doubled in NH last summer. So what we paid last year was a lot less than what we are paying now. We had plenty of notice so that we knew it was coming but it's still unpleasant to deal with.
