They should build it on the NH side to better protect it from Vermont's anti-nuclear energy pressure goups.

Overall I like living in VT, but it's not just "anti-nuclear". Vermonters will cut off their nose to spite their face for anything that isn't asthetic.

That mindset has a place - billboards are gawdy and trashy - but it's expanded to a bunch of green energy initiatives. Just look at the windmill project that was denied in Windham/Grafton a few years ago - it would have been a huge benefit to the local communities but voters decided ruining their view wasn't worth it.

Its It's like the people who complain about spotty cell service then vote against erecting a hilltop cell tower or complain about the lack of housing then vote in support of regulations which discourage housing development.

No one wanted to build another one though. The energy from ca is way way cheaper.
