The Case for a Comprehensive Energy Siting Plan in New HampshireWe should be thinking more like foresters and less like dart players

摘要

Good foresters are able to see ahead 50 to 100 years, mostly out of necessity. Because of the life cycle of trees, good forest planning requires a forester to choose what the forest being managed today will look like in 50 to 100 years. New Hampshireshould apply a similar standard to the choices it makes for siting new energy infrastructure, particularly the kind of infrastructure that carries energy and fuels long distances and requires considerable disturbance to the landscape to be built.
