2. They also helped torpedo Md's effort to boost offshore wind in the Atlantic.
They are doing and will do anything they can to preserve the current system of centralized generation. They become an even stronger social and political force when they are operating fission plants than when they are operating coal plants.

Did you read the follow on article at the end of the first? They expect a 2-5 year lull in their efforts to build new plants, during which time they intend to focus on convincing regulators to extend the lifespan existing plants (designed to last 40 years) out to 80 years.
