Connecticut’s Nuclear Power Promise Shapes State Debate
Waterford reports a paradox as 2,000 New England protestors rally against Seabrook in a state that embraced nuclear power a decade ago. Connecticut now consumes more nuclear electricity than any other state, with 1976 figures showing over half usage from atomic plants and peak periods reaching 75 percent. Officials cite economic and safety arguments, noting nuclear generation can undercut oil costs and stabilize rates, while opponents warn about radiation risks, waste disposal, and sabotage dangers.
