The proposed power line threatens the New Hampshire North County. It will impact public health and safety, reduce tourism, and increase light pollution. Our local school is inside of the 200 meter hazard zone. This video takes the proposed size of the towers (135 feet tall!) and places them into Google Earth to show what the proposed project will do to New Hampshire. ERRATA:  (1) The title that says "Franconia Notch Parkway" should say something like "I-93, looking north to Franconia Notch". Technically the name of the road changes to the "Parkway" slightly farther north.  (2) The towers could be slightly taller. They are only 120 feet tall as shown, versus the 135 feet mentioned in the Northern Pass application to DOE.
