"Transmission Developers Inc. announced Tuesday that it has scored the last of the federal and state siting permits needed to move forward with building the Champlain Hudson Power Express, a 333-mile buried transmission line running from Quebec to New York City to provide cheap hydropower power for the nation’s largest metropolis. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued a Department of Army permit for the project, which was first proposed in 2008."
