 We already began production on a new natural gas plant, plans were approved in September 2021.  We have extended the life of millstone for now, and eversource is raking in money it could use to upgrade the power lines and such, so we have the short term covered. Long term we are doing nothing but the same.
   In addition, everyone talking about renewables in government is talking about wind and solar.  Neither of those is practical on a large scale.  I understand the concerns with nuclear, though I worked in nuclear and there at least 15 nuclear reactors in the Thames river at any one time, but beyond that, there are other large scale options that would drastically reduce our energy cost.  The only down side is it would hurt the fossil fuel companies.
