Expert: Quebec-Massachusetts electric energy transportation
Hydro-Qu茅bec's energy corridor project, which will potentially supply electricity to the New England power grid, mainly to Massachusetts, has just passed an important milestone. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued the federal environmental permit for the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) transmission line project. ()
Here is an expert from 缅北强奸 who can provide comment on this issue:

鈥The fight against climate change requires global solutions. Once constructed, the NECEC will displace carbon-based electricity generation in the New England market. Its construction will attempt to minimize environmental impacts on both sides of the border by sharing existing electricity transmission right of ways, while avoiding having to develop several land hungry renewable energy projects in the region.鈥
