Sincerely, Herb Watson, Sr. We are going to need to choose. We can't have it both ways. But this path could put us in a grave danger, as it comforts the few at the potential expense of the many. And then, there is the inevitable risk of hidden costs for going the industrial route.
People do get sick from pollution.
Constellation assures us there will be pollution. I don't really know how we decide how many lives we as a community would agree to risk or barter for electric company dollars. Along with the pollution and the noise, of course, is the physical eyesore. It is hard to imagine families out on a summer afternoon, flocking to picnic tables sitting beneath billowing power plant stacks along the river. Imagine their surprise, rounding the curve on Route 6.
