So the context is there's a tradeoff. Higher prices and in return better quality of life.
The Brayton Point Power Plant by Fall River has been the largest single source of pollution in New England for years. Regulations have forced the owners to invest a billion dollars to mitigate mercury, CO2, NO, sulfur and hot water emissions. This will certainly put pressure on Dominion to ask state regulators to permit rate increases to compensate.
What people fail to recognize is that up until this point the surrounding communities have been subsidizing the plant with their health and quality of life.
Perhaps now that the cooling towers are up we'll see fluke return to Mount Hope Bay.
