The company was owned by a white family, the Swifts.
Leaf produced at Swift adorned the dome atop the Connecticut capitol building and decorated the lettering on the sides of local fire trucks. Gold leaf, a thin, paper-like gold product, was manufactured there for over 100 years. A week later, an early decision by New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee brought those plans to a halt (and delayed the release of Episode 79 by a day as we scrambled to produce an update!) The committee denied Eversource a permit for the project because it would “unduly affect the orderly development of the region.”
At the end of January Massachusetts picked just one project – the Northern Pass – a power line that would cut north to south across much of New Hampshire, owned and operated by Eversource.ĭedicated listeners know what happened next. Several of these proposals for new transmission lines that would connect New England with Canadian hydro were among the bids for a twenty-year renewable energy contract with the state of Massachusetts. They supply about ten percent of the power used by the New England grid.
These dams belong to Hydro-Quebec, an electric company owned by the Quebec government. A map provided by Hydro-Quebec shows existing dams, transmission lines, and projects under construction.Ī vast network of hydroelectric dams powers the province of Quebec, with plenty of inexpensive energy to spare.
