<title>Proposed Lake Champlain transmission line complicated by engineering, history</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15316/20100303/proposed-lake-champlain-transmission-line-complicated-by-engineering-history</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 3, 2010) Last week, a Canadian company called Transmission Developers Incorporated unveiled a $3.8-billion plan to lay high-power electric transmission lines under Lake Champlain and the Hudson River.  The project would be part of the new &quot;smart&quot; electrical grid, designed to open the floodgates to new sources of green and renewable energy.  The company has begun meeting with state regulators, environmentalists and historic preservation groups.  As Brian Mann reports, the transmission line will be one of the most complicated power-grid projects in the country.

<title>Developer reveals details of underwater power corridor</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15275/20100224/developer-reveals-details-of-underwater-power-corridor</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 24, 2010) State and federal officials will have to approve a new plan to run a high-voltage electricity transmission line 300 miles from Quebec to metro New York City through New York&apos;s Champlain Valley – mostly underwater.  Hydro-Quebec is a major supplier of electricity to the northeastern U.S.  The design calls for the power line to be buried in the bottom sediment of Lake Champlain, the Hudson Canal, and the Hudson River.The project is being developed by a Toronto company, which sees the underwater design is a way to avoid the environmental and political problems of constructing new powerline corridors through communities. Martha Foley has more.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 15, 2010) A Canadian company hopes to build a massive new electric transmission line that will use the Champlain and Hudson Valleys to bring power from Quebec to New York City. Transmission Developers Incorporated, based in Toronto, is asking state regulators in New York to approve the use of a type of cable that can be buried underwater.  As Brian Mann reports, the technology would mean fewer impacts on communities and landscapes in the North Country.
