- Spooky23 5y agoSure. The point is a big portion of the base load for the city was generated by a nuclear plant a few miles away, and will shift to a foreign hydroelectric system hundreds of miles away. When you think of a place as large as NYC and the scale of making any kind of change, it certainly adds an element of risk if conditions in Canada or failures between NYC and Canada take place.
