This is why our local NH electric company is pushing to build a $1 billion power line from the NH/Quebec border going south known as the Northern Pass. Quebec makes more electricity from its hydro electric dams than it can use. CT and Mass need the juice. However they need a new right of way in northern NH to build the line. It will travel on existing ROWs the rest of the way south. The people up there do not want it because: it will ruin their VIEW.
They may end up burying a portion of it. Also, we do not need the juice here in our state because we have Seabrook nuclear power plant built in the 1980s.

Wow. When we moved from PA to WA, we saved about 10,000 in property+income taxes (state and local), and insurances. I didn’t calculate the energy savings. PA is at 13.09/kwh, while WA is apparently the cheapest in the country at 8.82. No wonder I have so much extra spending money.
