New York Regional Interconnect (NYRI), a privately held company, plans to run 200 miles of 13-story high-voltage power lines through our countryside, our towns and our homes. We're calling on you, residents from Marcy to New Windsor, to take 5 minutes a day to stop NYRI. Working closely with legislators and the groups spearheading the Stop NYRI initiative, we will get an organized, prioritized agenda out to you, and in turn, make it easy for you to act instantly on the most timely issues. And here's what you can do today.... How this will affect you. Just joining us? Here's a list of additional things you can do today. Where we are in the fight Find out if your town is on one of NYRI's routes. Where your elected representatives stand and how to contact them. Help us to spread the word in your area. Maps, news and other great anti-NYRI links. Our goal and how we plan to reach it 05.02.2007 Tell the DOE to hold a public meeting upstate on NIETC designations! Why: The DOE has proposed a Mid-Atlantic Area National Corridor, which would include the counties along NYRI's proposed paths. As part of the 60-day public comment period, the DOE will hold three public meetings to examine each draft corridor designation. All 3 public meetings are to be held in cities that will merely receive the added power these projects will bring (New York City, NY; Arlington, VA; and San Diego, CA). They are not the places in which the projects will be built, the places that will be devastated by them and in which opposition is unanimous. DOE's choice of locations will serve to heavily favor one side of this very critical public debate. Our representatives in Congress, Mike Arcuri, Maurice Hinchey and John Hall have asked the DOE hold at least one additional meeting in upstate New York, closer to where the projects will actually be built! They are hoping to maximize public participation in these meetings and ensure that we are given fair opportunity to convey our opinions in the matter.
