Re: CBC news, new Acela trains, first look

Storm King Mountain is a beautiful place. I don't regret that one going the way it did.

NIMBYs shot down another one, 5 miles upstream of Blenheim-Gilboa. The lower reservoir would have been the existing NYC water supply Schoharie Reservoir. The upper would have been new, hollowing out a flat hilltop.

The NIMBYs worried about water quality (silt from all the pumping up and down) and temperature. The Shandaken Tunnel carries Schoharie water into the Esopus Creek upstream of the Ashokan reservoir, and the fishermen said the increased temperature of the water would kill all the trout in the Esopus.
