In view of the Green New Deal, the proposed natural gas-fired 600 Megawatt electrical power plant in Killingly is a lost opportunity for green non-CO2 generating power in Connecticut. This facility will add CO2 to the Earth's atmosphere for decades into the future. 

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in their Technical Report NREL/TP-6A20-67675 March 2017 titled "An Assessment of the Economic Potential of Offshore Wind in the United States from 2015 to 2030," estimated that Connecticut has over 1,000 Megawatts of potential offshore wind power. 

Shouldn't this be the opportunity to "go green" and build non-polluting wind power sooner rather than later? A combination of clean wind turbines (up and down the Sound and offshore), solar and low temperature geothermal should be installed instead of a fossil-fuel fired generating plant.
