Photo by Edith Tucker Some 60 opponents of the proposed Northern Pass Transmission (NPT) project with placards stood on private property on the edge of Route 302 East in Twin Mountain on Sunday afternoon to catch the attention of officials traveling to the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods where five of the governors of the New England states, plus a stand-in from Maine, and premiers of the Eastern Canadian provinces met at their 38th annual Conference to discuss how they can work together two major issues: energy and the economy. Drivers of many passing cars honked their horns to indicate that they, too, oppose the proposed primarily above-ground electric transmission line to bring Hydro-Quebec power on a route through New Hampshire.
