We applaud your efforts to date to defend New Hampshire's natural and cultural heritage from the proposed Northern Pass transmission line. Please join us in making sure that our children and grandchildren can pass this vital heritage on to their children and grandchildren. Please ask Northeast Utilities and Hydro-Québec either to bury the entire project in New Hampshire or stop it altogether.
Everywhere we look we see proposals for new high-voltage, direct current transmission lines. In Maine, Vermont, and New York, new north-south high-voltage direct-current lines are being proposed completely underground or underwater; even Hydro-Québec itself is advancing an underground transmission project to connect with New York. Everywhere we look we see new, innovative underground transmission technology proposals. Everywhere except New Hampshire.
Governor Hassan, before you host the New England Governors and the Eastern Canadian Premiers here in New Hampshire this July, please make it clear that New Hampshire welcomes each of them to our magnificent state. But please also convey the message that we will insist on smart, well-planned energy projects that advance a clean energy future and we will not welcome any overhead extension cords like Northern Pass that provide little benefit to the state, at the expense of our natural and scenic resources.
DEFEND NEW HAMPSHIRE’S NATURAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE

Just bury the Northern Pass and don't ruin New Hampshire's natural beauty - End of Story!

2reasons. First and foremost is to preserve the white mountain national forest! Second is to keep it from bringing down my property value.

I visit New Hampshire and love its natural beauty. I appreciate many wild songbirds that make their home in NH. Northern Pass lines must be buried as lines above ground will trap and kill millions of innocent wild songbirds native to our country.

Nh is a beautiful state. This will scar its face, and devalue the properties in its path, eroding the equity. The equity people have depended on to survived in the freedom state. Hydroelectric takes a heavy environmental toll compromising ecosystem.
Jane Bjorkabout 11 years ago Hopkinton NH
Preserve NH. This is improper use of eminent domain.

Safety, Beauty

Will have a huge, negative impact on tourism, will affect property values and will affect several small businesses along the way (especially in Campton, NH) with many people losing jobs
Kathy McLaughlinabout 11 years ago holderness NH
It is unhealthy, it is not good for the worlds environment, it goes against the laws in NH, it is unneeded and does not make financial sense so why does Quebec want it.

To preserve the quality of my condo in peaceful NH

To preserve New Hampshires natural beauty
Kenna DiPiroabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
I live in the White Mtns and feel this will destroy our beautiful forests. AND, it would go right through my back yard!
Greg Heringabout 11 years ago natick MA
I feel that these tree topping towers will be an eyesore while trying to enjoy the scenic vistas. Will probably start touring Vermont with my significant other.
Matt Siegelabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
There are plenty of other options for getting power south that do not require defacing the NH landscape!
Kathleen Flahertyabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
I live where Northern Pass wants to trespass. It will forever ruin the beauty of the White Mountains. Just drive down Tenney Mountain Road in Plymouth, NH and see the horrific site of windmills -- beautiful scenery ruined forever.
Ann Ann Burchillabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
We live where they want to put the towers and we don't want them so close to our house! Do not spoil our neighborhood with these towers! We are against them for sure!
Greg Secorabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
My wife and I are raising a young family in beautiful NH and we want to preserve the environment and it's ecology for our generation and future generations!
Susan Secor 94 Mountain River Eastabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
NH is beautiful! Keep it beautiful!
Marc Fortierabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
We do not want to look our our front door and see these ugly poles, keep New Hampshire Beautiful, PLEASE!
June Todtabout 11 years ago Hampstead NH
We love to hike & ski in the White Mountains. Please stop the destruction of our forests.
Heather Petersonabout 11 years ago Penacook NH
besides ruining beautiful lands, it really does nothing for NH financially ! It all goes to Mass.
Alysia Bouchardabout 11 years ago Brentwood NH
Bury it. Please don't spoil our beautiful mountains for future generations. If we allow big corporations to deface NH's natural beauty we, the people of NH, NE, and visitors from the USA/world will not want to come here. Protect NH's natural beauty.
Paula Bedardabout 11 years ago Goffstown NH
The value of our scenic vistas and CONSERVATIVE energy policies are way more important to me than allowing large corporate privately owned entities the opportunity to destroy our scenic landscapes.
Rebecca Herndonabout 11 years ago Somerset MA
We must preserve the sanctity of nature for ourselves, our children and for our beloved Mother Earth
