[Hidden-tech] WMECO vs Dominion

[Jeremy Dunn]

We switched several years ago, but switched back.  There are no hidden fees, 
and it really is cheaper.  Our reason for returning to, and staying with 
WMECO is they have a lower proportion of Nuclear in their generation mix. 
This information is available on your WMECO bill and Dominion website.

The last time I looked (a month or two ago when we got yet another offer 
from Dominion):

WMECO 33% Nuclear, 39% Gas, 14% coal, 8% oil, 6% other
Dominion 64% Nuclear, 18% Gas, 8% Coal, 2% oil, 3% hydro, 5% other

Basically I think Dominion owns one or more nuclear power plants in the 
northeast, which are cheaper to operate than fossil-fuel plants. But there 
is that persistent problem of what to do with nuclear waste.  Nobody wants 
it, and it lasts ~ 10,000 years.
