Default Clamshell Alliance

Reminds me of the Seabrook nuclear reactor protects of the 70's. Activists wanted no nuclear reactors in this state despite the beneifits of cleaner air. The original intent of the reactors was to shut down the oil and coal plants. Today, the Bow plant is the biggest polluter in the state if not New England. Despite spending millions to 'scrub' the smoke.
According to http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php...shire_and_coal shows no further indictments on the Bow plant. The head of the Clamshell Alliance mentioned in the Concord Monitor, he wish he had not shut down the second reactor 30 years ago. The Bow and Schiller plant would have been gone. Resulting in much cleaner air.

So thinking about 'not in my backyard' today. Think about the consequences to be had 30 years from now for your children/grandchildren.
