&quot;Extended outages, or retirements, among the region’s nuclear power plants would have detrimental effects. At the same time, having stored fuels like LNG and oil at dual-fuel units, combined with imports from Canadian hydro facilities, could help maintain reliability.&quot;<p>We need some kind of disruption in the energy generation market...I mean we&#x27;re shutting down our nuclear power plants without adequately accounting for the loss in generation capacity...perhaps there will be some innovation in distributed generation, but either way, it&#x27;ll be interesting to see how things go in this industry.
