NYRI to propose alternative power line routes

“Based on this important new information, I hope that you will consider NYRI a solution that benefits all New Yorkers with lower electricity rates and with safe and reliable power.”

Boy nyri changed its projections of the cost increases all of a sudden. One question, if nyri has no intention of going through the feds, then why bother sending them a notification about this supplement?

Here's a proposal they're NOT discussing, drop the project! Put your efforts into power generation, that's what you need! I'm serious about the wind farm proposal just off shore down there. Look into that.

I hate power lines! Even in the front of my house- they are ugly and annoying. So my question is this: Why not put them underground? Really- why spend thousands of dollars on a project that is going to need to be set back up every time an ice storm comes through?

cost. It is extremely more expensive to bury the lines. Additionally, studies indicate that even if buried under ground the health hazards associated with such high wattage lines are not mitigated.

We had cows in a pasture with big power lines. 7 out of the 12 calves that were born had birth defects. We no long rent that pasture. Can we for sure say it was the power lines? No, but it sure made us wonder and we weren't willing to take the chance another year!

Should have went ahead and raised the calf with the 4 stomachs, two udders and eight teats, countrygal, just look at the increased milk production for the same amount of feed and barnspace, haha. The one that was born with two heads would have mooed twice as much and ate twice as much. Couldn't afford a barnfull of those. Just think of the breeding program with a bull with two peepee's and four swinging jewels.

Just have to train those cows to come when they are called, so you don't have to go out under the lines to get them. haha.

There used to be a large and quite nice house on route 12 half way between Alder Creek and Boonville. I remember when it was built, years ago, and then when a large power line was hung practically over it with a tower in the front yard. For reasons unknown to me, they moved the the house only a few feet and turned it around after that. The last time I was up that way, I noticed the house was completely gone.
