In response to both Frank Slason (“Letter to the editor: The unseen costs of switching to electric energy,” Nov. 19) and Robert Howe (Letter to the editor: Nuclear isn’t the answer, a robust energy mix is,” Nov. 23) regarding the electric grid and sources of power, good points were made in both letters.

Letter to the editor: The tide is high – and only getting higher
This Black Friday, while Americans enjoy their opulent consumption, take a break with a yardstick. Go to the waterfront for high tide, which will occur a little before 11:30 a.m. (the exact time depends upon your location). An 11.3-foot-high tide is due to occur.

Letter to the editor: Attacks on Garland appointee amount to more of the same
Regarding the Nov. 18 news report “AG Merrick Garland names special counsel to lead Trump-related probes,” remember when Republicans, the self-proclaimed party of family values and guardians of veterans’ rights, demonized Special Counsel Robert Mueller?

Letter to the editor: Holmes’ sentence tells a bigger story about America
