When it comes to New Hampshire's energy future, state Sen. Jeb Bradley is looking to the past.
Long the state's legislative point-man on electricity costs, Bradley was at the table in the early part of the last decade when Public Service of New Hampshire was forced to sell the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant at a significant loss.
A state representative at the time, the Wolfeboro Republican was part of the team that negotiated a deal to split the losses between ratepayers and PSNH shareholders. He's planning to bring many of the same players to the table once again, in negotiations he hopes will save ratepayers millions of dollars for years to come.
And he's joined PSNH in asking state regulators to put their deliberations on hold while those talks continue.
