It was heartening to read Richie Davis’ fine piece on the effort to stop the Seabrook N.H. nuclear power plant in the 1970s, and the tenacity of Franklin County organizers who travelled to the seacoast to help kindle that movement.
We owe them a deep debt of gratitude for the fact that we have only one reactor at Seabrook, not two. And for the historical record it’s important to note that when our own Sam Lovejoy toppled the 500-foot-tall weather tower on the Montague Plains about that same time, he struck the spark that lit the fuse that eventually led to the creation of the Clamshell Alliance and left Montague free of reactors forever.
