American Power Plans Cross-State Hydro Line to NYC
The American Super-Power corporation seeks federal permits to build a Niagara to Yonkers hydro electric transmission line costing about 27.46 million dollars. It would deliver base load to New York City and extend power to underserved southern and central regions, transporting Niagara power hundreds of miles for the first time. The plan includes converting the La Salle to Lewiston cable for water transport and enabling a ship canal around Niagara Falls, forming an all-American Lake Erie to Lake Ontario link.
