[en] Presently, New England is among those U.S. regions most committed to nuclear power, with one-third of its electric power coming from this source. The most-pressing task is for the region to reduce greatly its dependence on imported oil for generating electricity (oil accounts for 57% of electric generation). Utilities hope that the three nuclear units now under construction in New England will further reduce dependence on oil. However, anti-nuclear groups would like to see this construction stopped and the seven existing nuclear plants phased out. Anti-nuclear groups propose energy conservation, the use of solar and other renewable energy sources, and the importing of hydroelectricity from Canada
