Northern Pass is exactly that. A pass to let Hydro Quebec deliver electricity to the southern states. The wind farms power is also being distributed to the southern states. Bear in mind, NH produce enough energy that the electrical grid actually supply power to our neighbors!

About 47% of NH power is generated with natural gas. NH depends on natural gas from other states to produced our electricity. The amount of natural gas we use today actually exceed what can be transmitted into the state. That is why we desperately need the pipeline. The pipeline is for our benefit, Northern Pass and the wind farms are not for our benefits. The LNG tankers that supply the gas farms in Portsmouth and Portland are huge! I can't fathom a disaster with one of these floating tankers in Portsmouth harbor! I much rather have buried transmission lines than to take a chance on human error or weather on an LNG tank!
