The Powerline Guide to New Hampshire Schools: Profile School

NH Schools in Close Proximity to PSNH's Proposed High Voltage Power Line




This is the first in a series of NH schools in close proximity to the existing PSNH ROW on which the proposed high voltage lines would be built.

The yellow lines demarcate the cleared portion of the current PSNH ROW, which may have to be widened to accommodate the proposed new HVDC lines.

Health effects of HVDC lines on children will be discussed at the end of the series.

A New Year's Resolution: Contact Your Legislator

Contact Info for NH House Representatives



2011 begins the campaign to oppose the Northern Pass in earnest. We have already come a very long way in barely two months, but this will be a long project. Each of you is crucial to its success. Our opponents will be watching to see how long we last. So will others who make predictions about equity returns and the like. It's their job.... but it's our lives, communities, environments, and livelihoods that are at stake.

Make a New Year's resolution to contact all your legislators. It doesn't matter whether you email, snail mail, or phone. The important part is to let your elected officials know what you feel about the high voltage power line and that we won't go away.

We are kicking off the year by providing an updated list of NH House Representatives for Carroll, Grafton, and Coos Counties. It includes US mail and email addresses as well as phone numbers. We'll provide similar lists for other legislators soon.

Please bookmark this blog so that you can return to the list and write to all the elected officials who represent you. They cannot push for your interests if they don't know what they are.

Happy New Year!

Ray Burton Opposes Northern Pass

"Negatives . . . Far Outweigh the Positives"



Raymond S. Burton, Executive Councilor for District One, New Hampshire, issued a news release on December 27, 2010, opposing the Northern Pass project as proposed because the "negatives . . . far outweight the positives." Councilor Burton specifically opposes "allowing this foreign power to come right by our own local producers of hydro power, wind power, and wood to energy plants." "As a long time elected official, [he] see[s] no value in this project coming through New Hampshire as currently proposed." Burton recommends that it be built in Vermont along existing right of way. He urges interested and affected parties to continue contacting their local and state officials.

Bury the Northern Pass applauds Ray Burton for listening to (and reading) the views of all sides, for weighing the positives and negatives, for putting New Hampshire's interests first, and for taking a leadership role in this matter. These qualities have earned him the respect of New Hampshire citizens--and reelection--for 32 years.
