OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

The mission of our association is to promote, protect and preserve the picturesque area that surrounds South Bristol and the Naples Valley. By doing so, we hope to support one of our region’s strongest economic assets – the scenic hillsides and natural beauty of the landscape.

We currently oppose the installation of a 100-foot wide swath of power lines 16 miles long, 65 feet in the air. We believe this RG&E-NYSEG plan risks harming an already weak economy and poses a threat to the environment.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

You can help! Stand with us. Act now.

Tell RGE-NYSEG to find a better solution.
If you care about the look, feel and future of the Naples Valley and the Bristol Hills, please join us.

All are welcome to join Naples Valley Bristol Hills Association in our mission to protect the Naples Valley and Bristol Hills. To join our association or for more information, please contact us at: nvbhagroup@gmail.com
We love this area and want to preserve its beauty and value. Many of us call this area home. Some of us grew up here and many are raising our families here. Others have moved here for the quality of life or to enjoy a second home. For many thousands more, Naples and the Bristol Hills are a place to come to spend a day or more — for fishing, camping, skiing, hiking, hunting or just enjoying a drive in the country with a stop for grape pie.

Overseas politics could affect energy merger

Elections in Spain this weekend could end up having an impact -- albeit indirect -- on Iberdrola SA's $4.5 billion acquisition of Energy East Corp.

Energy East has 1.4 million customers in upstate New York, including 45,000 in the Capital Region. Approval of the merger is before the state Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities in New York.

Parliamentary elections are being held Sunday in Spain. The results will determine which party -- the ruling Socialists or the conservative Popular Party -- take control.

The Wall Street Journal reported in Monday's edition that the Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has hinted "that he is open to a takeover" of Iberdrola by Electricite de France -- something that has worried PSC staff members.

The Journal says that the Popular Party is "radically against" such a takeover.

Staff at the PSC, which are currently engaged in closed-door settlement talks with Iberdrola, have voiced concerns in the past that the Spanish utility has become the subject of takeover rumors in Europe.
