<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 6, 2012) Environmental groups are hoping that the massive damage and economic strain caused by Hurricane Sandy in New York City and New Jersey will spark a new discussion about climate change.But some activists here in New York state are also pushing for a fresh conversation about the value of land preservation and green space — the kind of resources that could insulate communities against rising rivers and oceans.Stuart Gruskin is chief conservation officer for the Nature Conservancy in New York, a group heavily involved in land deals in the North Country and across New York state.He told Susan Arbetter, host of the public radio program Capital Pressroom, that he thinks communities will learn that there&apos;s a lot they can do locally to prepare for the impacts of climate change.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20386/20120829/big-power-line-from-quebec-to-nyc-draws-fire</link>

The $2 billion Champlain-Hudson Power Express would bury the cable under Lake Champlain and Hudson River.  The Toronto-based company developing the project hopes to have it online by 2016. But a growing number of critics say Canadian power would edge out producers in upstate New York and cost jobs on this side of the border.
