Offshore wind instead of 20 more years at Seabrook!

The Seacoast Online quotes Beyond Nuclear's Paul Gunter, and other environmental opponents to a 20 year license extension at Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant in New Hampshire, during a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission environmental scoping meeting. The environmental coalition has intervened against the incredibly premature license extension (NextEra, a.k.a. Florida Power and Light, has applied for a 20 year license extension 20 years early!) by documenting the offshore wind will very likely make Seabrook's operation from 2030 to 2050 not only increasingly risky, but also increasingly obsolete, unneeded, un-economic, and un-competitive.
