NBCNewYork: Preventing Future NYC/NJ Blackouts Will Cost Tens of Thousands of Trees

Video credit: NBCNewYork

There is no final number yet, but biologists at the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area now admit to NBCNewYork that tens of thousands of trees would have to be cut down if power companies get their way to expand a high voltage transmission line through the four mile wide park.

In fact, whatever the final route picked for the major upgrade to the grid, that number seems likely to hold as the proposed right of way for the higher voltage line would expand from roughly a hundred feet to 300 feet as it runs through the upper Delaware River Valley to Roseland, N.J.
