...continues to use all the water it wants to. All the surrounding towns have voted against allowing transport of radioactive wastes through their communities, but the project goes on. New Hampshire residents voted out their knee-jerk rightwing governor, Meldrim Thompson, almost solely on the issue of CWIP (Construction Work in Progress) charges for the Seabrook nuke, a system that allows the utility to charge higher rates to electricity users in advance for a power plant still under construction.

We must make the authorities realize we will no longer allow them to manipulate our lives and our future for their profits and their power. We will not let nuclear power go on. We will close the nukes ourselves...
