Eventually something will need to be done, hopefully more thought is put into the next proposal which will garnish more public support.

The impact on NH vs. the benefits to NH were clearly out of balance. The jobs provided would have been very temporary and most of the power left the state. In the end, NH was simply going to be a pass-through. If that were a different equation--if NP could guarantee a sizable savings on energy while also minimizing its impact--this thread wouldn't exist.
