Negative Impacts of Northern Pass

Over the objection from Northern Pass and its attorneys, the Site Evaluation Committee viewed a 21-minute video titled  “Negative Impacts of the Northern Pass Transmission Line ” on October 20.   Featuring North Country residents Bradley Thompson, John and Cindy-Lou Amey, Donald and Diane Bilodeau, Jason Balint, Bette Guerin, John Harrigan, Dr. E. Martin Kaufman and Rod McAllaster, the video offered an aerial tour of the new 32 miles of new right of way in Northern Coos County Northern Pass requires to build its project as proposed.  The video also provides a clear accounting from citizens who will see deep disruptions in their lives should this project be built. 

Each participant in the video also testified before the SEC after the video was shown.  A transcript of their testimony is here.  This testimony perfectly expresses why Northern Pass as proposed is not in the best interest of our state. Read the article by Nancy West here.
