Since we have to deal with the current infrastructure and only small changes (don't even try to trim a tree near the lines)... the strategy is to use the current infrastructure more efficiently.

I agree with the NIMBY politics. What happened to Seabrook 2? That would surely shut down the Bow plant but no! NIMBY! There was a plan to convert Bow from coal to NG, but no! No transmission pipes! NIMBY! Plus, the hydroelectric energy from Canada to replace the fossil burners! No! NIMBY!
If we want to put a dent in pollution, we should concentrate on the Big Three polluters who have no intent on clean energy, India, Nigeria, and the ocean commercial cargo barges which burn the dirtiest oil.
