It could hardly have been called over-building since they were there at
the time. There's little if any generation capacity that has come
online in that area in well over 20 years that I'm aware of (although I
didn't do a check of the Directory of Power Producers, I can do so if
you'd like to disagree).

There is certainly no great excess of power in the northeast grid even
today. Which unit(s) are you deeming as stranded?

time will tell but people fight power transmission lines, now add a
nuke power plant, and watch the lawsuits fly

Well, they can either decide to have power or do without -- suits me
fine if they all want to go somewhere where it doesn't disturb the rest
of us and get it by magic from whatever means they can invent on their own.
