Here is a riddle for you: What flows backward, up a hill, kills everything in it on the way up and erodes its foundation upon returning? Answer: The Connecticut River in Northfield. All the while this First Light project calls itself an energy producer, when, according to the laws of physics it has to use more energy pumping uphill than it could ever produce going back down.

To the EPA, Department of Fisheries, and FERC (Project 2485) you are in charge of relicensing. My question to you: Is this a good idea or madness?
