Recently in New Hampshire, residents defeated the Northern Pass project, which threatens to come back for another try.<\/p>\n
In Maine, residents are going through a similar situation.<\/p>\n
Some comments from Mainers regarding proposed Canadian hydroelectricity lines that would go through Maine to Massachusetts:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not here to act as a power cord for Mass. WE do not need to sacrifice anything to power New England. Let Mass generate their own energy.\u201d \u2013 Chris Scerbo<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMost of the power lines are in place already! Wind power causes way more destruction by blowing holes on tops of our beautiful mountains! Hydro power is steady, reliable and affordable!\u201d \u2013 Jack Wadworth<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a power line, it doesn\u2019t ruin the forest or wildlife. On the other hand, the house where you live does!\u201d \u2013 David Barker<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI live on Cape Cod, drive a Prius and have solar panels. They are so efficient that they supply my house with almost all the power needed for the year. The technology is already here. It is not necessary for Massachusetts to import power from Canada.\u201d \u2013 Wendy Williams<\/em><\/p>\n
