A major supplier of electricity to the Northeast is proposing to go down Lake Champlain, through the Champlain Canal in Whitehall, and back into the Hudson River to bring power to New York City and Long Island. This would be a new way to supply the growing power needs of our country without disrupting scenery.
It has been reported on North Country Public radio about a proposed power supply route that would use the historic route between Canada and New York which passes through Whitehall.
What is truly innovative, as I understand it, is that there would be no overhead lines, no cutting of trees and the power would come from renewable sources.
Here is a video that describes the concept.

I’m sure we’ll hear more about this in the months ahead.
