N.H. Tourism Commercial
 
This spot has been in the rotation on the Boston stations. I think of the lake whenever I see it and it makes me smile :D

Thanks for sharing
 
I watched every one. What an outstanding job they did portraying our favorite place on Earth. The spot titled lakehouse was exactly how it was when my boys were younger.

Sorry
 
many of the true NH natives are not happy about the play on the state motto 'Live free and ______________' :(

Are the Abernaki people upset? .. :) They are the only true natives ;)

Don't see the problem with "live free and discover" or "live free and play".I thought the ads were very well done.

NH tourism commercial: "Live Free & Catch the Wind." Welcome to New Hampshire, the wind turbine state; new frontier-big wind, for www.iberdrolarenewables.us ... Route 93-Exit 26, high up in nearby Groton, NH - 24 large white wind turbines all turning majestically in the early morning sun making zero-pollut'n, clean electricity!


New Hampshire, where your electric bill is dirt cheap, and your meter runs backwards on a day with moderate wind!

Enjoy that sight, brought to you by and subsidized by all of us TAXPAYERS. Electricity is not dirt cheap here and every time I see a wind turbine my blood boils that I have to pay for a far more expensive and less efficient solution just cause it "feels" good to be "green".

I read this just the other day and it is so true yet falls on deaf ears, why cause those that are pushing this crap just think as long as they believe something it has to be. Ignorance to say the least...

Natural gas power plants do not require any kind of taxpayer subsidies. Gas is plentiful, and it’s far “greener” than the coal-burning plants that are being phased out every day. Wind has a place in the generation mix, and if consumers are willing to pay through the nose for 100% wind power, then they should be free to do so. But it’s hard to justify wasting more taxpayer dollars propping up a technology that has had more than a decade to establish itself and yet still can’t stand on its own.

Regarding the recent spate of op ed articles I've been reading on wind turbines, (whether at Newfound lake or elsewhere) not surprising. Elections have consequences. I wonder how many of those currently complaining voted for the current administration. :rolleye1:

I think New Hampshire is a great place to be. I can't think of a place I would rather live, work and play.
Thank you for posting this

Boy, I miss the lake! Nice snapshots
 
I am far away - and wish I were nearer. I am afraid it would take 3 or 4 tank fulls to get back to NH - So these tourism ads were beautiful to see :0 Thanks McDude for posting the link.
