No, Northern Pass!
The Northern Pass Transmission Project, which would slice through 192 miles of New Hampshire’s scenic landscapes and communities, is wildly unpopular in the state. Out of 31 towns that would be affected, 21 have stepped up to oppose it, and more than 95 percent of 4,500 public commenters have stated their strong opposition.

As with all my “Environmental Diaries,” I got a couple of, “nay sayers,” last night.
One insisted; it was ok to have these, gargantuan, energy lines, everywhere, in a community.
They said; “The above ground power lines do not cut through the heart of the White Mountains, as alleged. When the Northern Pass route; makes its turn, southward through the mountains, the proposal places the power lines underground.”
So; would you like this, in your backyard?
A Kossack; informed me, (commented), that, Custer State Park in South Dakota just got through a huge fire that was caused by wind blowing a transmission line to the ground. More than; 84 Square miles, destroyed.
