Re: "very expensive"

Compared to WHAT?

The cost of building a nuclear plant in New England?

Hauling coal to the North East (and abating it's inevitable pollution)?

Oil?

(I'll admit that with the recent build-out of LNG terminals in Canada's East, and the North American surge in Nat. Gas reserves from 'shale' that Nat. Gas will probably emerge as an excellent option for them as well --- particularly for peak leveling and such....
