They don’t even have to buy him out. He’s closing the business, so they just need startup capital.
The problem is the numbers don’t work paying staff $65k / yr to work at a coffee shop. They would lose piles of money.

They’re moving to places like San Diego, NJ, and North Carolina.

You don’t think a sitting senator writing dozens of letters to the NRC and publicly opposing a plant in her district makes a difference in the odds that plant happens?
ok. 👍

Pilgrim was closed because of local NIMBYs and politicians inc. Warren blocked every attempt to make it continue or expand, and pledged to phase out all nuclear by 2035. The costs of lawsuits and regulatory risks made it too expensive, so every company that wanted to make it work gave up.
So, yes, technically it was cost (and risk) that caused Pilgrim to close, but it was costs created by protestors and politicians.
Had the project been welcomed with open arms, it would be operating today.

Thank Sen Warren. She’s strongly anti-nuclear and was instrumental in forcing the Pilgrim plant to be closed.
> The Democratic presidential hopeful pledged to not only prevent the building of new power plants, but also said she would phase out all nuclear power by 2035 and replace it with renewables. After 52 years of producing energy, Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station closed its doors on May 31.

They’re not growing quickly in MA. Our grid is still ~80% fossil fuels and will be majority gas for the next 10 years at least and likely 20 or more.

The problem is we’ve been doing none of the above for a long time. No cape wind, no grid connection to hydro in Canada, no nuclear, and also no gas pipelines.
Until we we actually start building things again, I’m voting for it all and against politicians who block it.

Giving the state more money won’t help housing. We need to redo how zoning works.

I don’t know anywhere that has rooms just for 2 so you’ll probably need to buy out a larger room.
Menton has a great private chef’s table room that seats I think 8 and the service and food there are amazing.
