The Northern Pass will definitely benefit primarily MA and CT initially. However, the Seabrook nuclear plant will not last forever. It is already 20+ years old. We will not be building any new coal plants. There is not the pipeline capacity to supply more natural gas. We can burn wood waste and build windmills. Where is the power going to come from in 20 years when Seabrook is done?
That is why I am for it. However, make them bury it along the new right of way.
