Massachusetts’ demand for 1,200 megawatts of electrical generation to fill the “energy gap” left by the closure of two New England nuclear plants can be met with delocalized but interconnected microgrids, each with a capacity for sustainable electrical generation and salt water battery storage that can feed the grid and buffer fluctuations of demand. This model of growth is both sustainable and democratizing. This is a stark contrast to New England Clean Energy Connect. Vote “yes” this November to reject the NECEC. ~ Eben Rose, South Portland
