Comments on: Newly Disclosed Evidence of NPT Influence Taints Federal Review of Northern Pass http://www.clf.org/blog/clean-energy-climate-change/newly-disclosed-evidence-of-npt-influence-taints-federal-review-of-northern-pass/ For a thriving New England Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:21:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jamie http://www.clf.org/blog/clean-energy-climate-change/newly-disclosed-evidence-of-npt-influence-taints-federal-review-of-northern-pass/#comment-2375 Jamie Thu, 11 Oct 2012 17:44:22 +0000 http://www.clf.org/?p=11885#comment-2375 Well done CLF! I question, though, whether writing a letter to Brian Mills will have any effect at all. Where is the oversight at DOE or the governance? The last time regulators delegated their oversight to those they supposedly were to oversee, we had the financial crisis. In the private sector, people lost their jobs (perhaps not enough). Why not alert the Attorney General if there is the potential for complicity here? Let them determine how far this crosses the line. What is so disillusioning is that every step of this process has revealed how rigged the system is, and that what is so transparently apparent for this project to proceed (if it should at all) is relentlessly being ignored for the corporate greed of a very few.

We in New Hampshire, obviously can not depend on any of our Washington representation to take care of our best interests. Much appreciated! Thanks for watching NPT.

Funny but, since the Northern Pass is such a great idea, why do they have to stoop to such tactics? Pressuring land owners, who admit to being harrssed by the NP's real estate quest, lying about jobs, lying about the project as far as the need, the tower heights, etc. Why fight so hard against line burial ($$$$$$$). Why disrespect the people who live near and in view of the ROWs? Why try to claim 'renewable' status and disregard the enormous damage to the great rivers of Quebec? Why disregard the native tribes who are suffering from mercury poisoning in the James Bay area due to the flooding of seven million acres? Just when you think PSNH, Northeast Utilities, Hydro-Quebec and N-Star (NP) can't stoop any lower, they manage record breaking Limbo moves only possible from low lying creatures, snakes come to mind.
