NH State Legislative Bills Hearing on February 19, 2013

HB580 - establishing moratoriums on wind turbine plants and electric transmission line projects - 02/19/2013 at 01:00 PM Representatives Hall

HB484 - requiring public approval prior to issuance of certain site evaluation certificates - 02/19/2013 at 02:30 PM Representatives Hall
...
These two bills will be presented in a hearing on February 19th and will require a significant number of people to support in person. This support will include a personal testimony and/or a vote to support the bill. This is our BEST chance to postpone the construction of Wild Meadows wind project (37+ turbines) and Spruce Ridge wind project (~25 turbines). Please support us by attending these sessions at the State House in Concord and sending letters or calling each member on the attached document prior to the meeting. We will be providing bus transportation to make this more convenient. Please RSVP as soon as possible and let us know if you would like to be included on the BUS or if you will be attending with your own transportation. If you are unable to attend, please send a letter to each of the Legislators identifying your support for these bills. These bills are the ONLY chance we will have for a moratorium to stop these wind projects.
