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.
