PORTSMOUTH Last August, Richards Avenue resident Tom Morgan, the town planner for Seabrook, was thrilled to see that for the first time in over 130 years, renewable sources generated more energy in the United States than coal.
Portsmouth on the other hand, Morgan wrote in an August letter to city councilors, is “on the wrong side of history” relative to citywide renewable energy, despite its status as an eco-municipality.
“Portsmouth’s homes and businesses are mostly powered by Granite Shore’s coal-fired Merrimack Station in Bow and Essential Power’s gas-fired plant in Newington,” he wrote. “Eversource’s recent $126 million investment in upgrades to the transmission corridor from Madbury to Portsmouth signals the industry’s intent to keep our community dependent on fossil fuels well into the future.”
