ALBANY — Northeast Utilities, parent company to Public Service of New Hampshire, is proposing to construct one of the largest electric transmission projects in New Hampshire's history — a 180-mile line to deliver into New England 1,200 megawatts of electricity generated by Hydro-Québec's massive hydro-power facilities in Canada. While the project has been marketed as "green," the proposed project will have significant adverse effects on the White Mountain National Forest and will profoundly affect the landscape, environment, and natural resources of communities throughout New Hampshire and in Québec, as well as the energy future of New Hampshire and New England. To learn more, join Tin Mountain for its monthly eco-forum series on Thursday, Jan. 10, at noon.
