Thumbs down Northern Pass Project

NH residents please get on board and oppose this. This project which will allow a private corporation, which by the way isn’t even in our country, to take private land by eminent domain with the states backing, create no new jobs for NH workers (how many steel workers are there in NH capable of erecting steel towers) and be nothing more than a means to get electricity to the southern states. NH already exports surplus electricity to other states yet has some of the highest electric rates in the country.
On top of that once the project is complete they can apply for and in most cases get an abatement which will eliminate them from having to pay taxes.
So tell the Canadians to take their project somewhere else.
