For the better part of a decade, Plymouth residents have been working to stop Northern Pass, a 192-mile, high-tower electrical transmission line carrying industrial hydro-power from Canada. Community members recognized the Granite State was being used as an extension cord to deliver power to other states. The cost to New Hampshire communities: risks to their health, water quality, local economies, and surrounding ecosystems. In January 2018, Plymouth Residents adopted a rights-based ordinance and blocked Northern Pass in their town.
