Tell the DOE: no massive power lines in front of Rocky Mountain National Park

[responsiblelines]

Hi all,

If you enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, skiing or climbing in Rocky
Mountain
National Park and around Estes Park, your visit may be altered forever
if the
US Department of Energy's proposed re-route of an industrial-scale
power line
is approved. To oppose the re-route up scenic Highway 36 entering the
Estes
Valley, visit:

A division of the DOE, Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), is
planning
to upgrade aging powerlines, but instead of routing them through the
Forest
Service's designated Utility Corridor, they are planning to re-route
them
(creating *another* utility corridor) up Highway 36 where most
Americans get
their first views of the majestic peaks of Rocky Mountain National
Park.

The comment period is closing soon: JANUARY 31st, 2012

Learn more at http://responsiblelines.org, a website put together by
local
residents of Estes Park that realized that WAPA planned the re-route
to
accommodate a single wealthy and influential land-owner.

Thanks very much for your help. The views in Estes Park are worth
defending.
We hope you can visit without transmission towers blocking your view.

Cheers,
Chris Jones
