The Northern Pass will:
-Cut through the heart of New Hampshire, clearing thousands of acres of forests and pristine wilderness
-Create visual noise which will effectively ruin the scenic New Hampshire vistas from Concord to the North Country
-Outsource New Hampshire jobs to Canada
-Take land from landowners by force through the use of eminent domain
-Create significant health risks through EMF radiation for people living within up to half a mile of the transmission line
-Construction will pose a risk to sensitive wildlife areas
Facts about the project:
-Only a fraction of the power will be used by NH
-NH has lowest power consumption in the nation
-The project will increase our dependence on foreign power
-PSNH refuses to bury the lines, citing high costs as an excuse
-Open air lines are outdated and inefficient

Sure, there are the reasons you mention as to why this project should be opposed, but what really bothers me about this is the threat of eminent domain to take people's land.

Northern Pass HVDC Electric Corridor will clear over 7000 acres of trees and arial spray it with defoliants to keep it that way, polluting countless water supplies state wide.
Then there is the issue of land values. Who wants to buy land next to, or live near these monster towers and power lines ??
