They also do not want the Northern Pass power line from the Quebec through northern NH to go through. That is because Quebec had to flood lands and build dams to generate that hydro power that costs $.00005/KW. Seriously, they will probably end up having to bury a lot of this new proposed line because the people up north do not want it in their backyard/front yard because it will effect their view and property values. Honestly, I can’t blame them. I would not want a high tension power line in my back yard either. Therefore, PSNH(the local electric utility)will have to spend more money burying the line in some sections to get the new right of way through the NH house.
I don’t have a problem with those types of rules...just raise the price for those municipalities...it’s when they make it practically impossible to search and drill for it!!
People in my area of Red Hampshire are opposed to Northern Pass because they believe it is designed to benefit Massghanistan.
