The sticker has been designed to protest Quebec-New Hampshire Interconnection, a new transmission line that would carry current from Hydro Quebec developments in James Bay to New Hampshire. From HQ web site: “The goal of this project is to increase the energy interchange capacity between Québec and New England by building a 1,200-MW interconnection to link Québec’s power grid with new Hampshire’s. Commissioning is scheduled for 2015. The project involves the construction of a 300-kV direct-current transmission line, about 75 km long. This line will be extended into the U.S.A. to connect Des Cantons substation to a substation to be built in Franklin, southern New Hampshire. The project also includes the construction of two converters at Des Cantons substation, each with a capacity of about 600 MW. They will convert alternating current to direct current, to supply the planned transmission line.” The project has met with a very strong opposition from various groups in New Hampshire. Although the criticism of Hydro Quebec projects is broadly discussed in Canadian literature, the US opposition to these developments is little known. In fact it dates to the 1970s, when Hydro-Quebec grid expanded into the New England. The resistance came from both, Cree, who staged canoe trips and demonstrations in New York, and from residents of New England. The US protesters, which included Akwesasne Mohawks, questioned the environmental impact of the projects and the state involvement in the initiatives that alienated First Nations from their land. This opposition to Hydro Quebec projects in New England continues. [Ref. 1]

Technique

The bumper sticker was made by Dawn Frost, a resident of New Hampshire, and sold by her company snoflake8892 on Zazzle.ca. This was the best selling sticker out of 360 snoflake8892’s products. The sticker is part of a collection of protest signs, pins and stickers that were acquired to show that all sources of energy, and many energy related issues are widely questioned by our society.
