Bury or Stop Northern Pass

Dear Governor Hassan,

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.

Sincerely,

Why is this important?

  • Debbie Mailmanabout 11 years ago Manchester NH
    i lchoose to live in this state BECAUSE of the mountains and forests and lakes and all the beauty that they hold. I do not want to see it ruined by power lines that are not even for our use.
  • Theodore Mongeauabout 11 years ago Auburn NH
    Tourism is what makes NH move. This will not stop our tourism industry but it will damage it. It will hurt communities that need tourism.
  • Cristina Sampedroabout 11 years ago Jefferson NH
    I think it is important to defend New Hamshire´s natural and cultural heritage.
  • Kathleen OConnellabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    I live in East Colebrrok, just moved here to enjoy the view and nature! Don't want this ruining the beauty of the nature here!
  • Robert Normandinabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    We bought a home in the White Mountains because we Love to hike & see the views! Above ground transmission lines would RUIN & Destroy they wonderful scenery that the White Moutains are so famous & loved for!! Please Stop Northern Pass (or bury)
  • Dan Armstrongabout 11 years ago Waltham MA
    The whites are too precious to ruin with unnecessary industry infrastructure. And for something that will only create problems on so many levels. No thank you.!
  • Gregory Dalzellabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    There's absolutely NO value to our state, it's residents, or visitors.
  • Emily Lemieuxabout 11 years ago Claremont NH
    keep the 603 BEAUTIFUL
  • Cieran Patersonabout 11 years ago Ctr Tuftonboro NH
    Because there is no need to damage the ecosystem more for the value of currency. The amount of respect that has been lost for the same reason thousands of visitors visit our beautiful state is sickening and disturbing
  • mary christoabout 11 years ago bow NH
    It is our human responsisbility to protect our earth. NO to Northern Pass above or underground....
  • Peter Gairabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    We must reduce use now. What allows more use makes problems ten-fold very quickly. And to take more away of the natural beauty and wilderness given to all of us-for any reason, let alone one this heinous-is unconscionable. The whole idea must be a bust.
  • Chris Fleischerabout 11 years ago Woburn NH
    The White Mountains are majestic the way they are. Power lines are poison that are cringe worthy. No power lines!
  • Rachel Bibeaultabout 11 years ago Woonsocket RI
    we love the mts the way they are!
  • Diane Hurlebausabout 11 years ago Quincy MA
    New Hampshire's beautiful, scenic, tranquil and serene mountainous hiking, sightseeing and all around preserves would be ruined by high tower ugly tension lines. Bury the lines or stop the project all together!
  • david dexterabout 11 years ago coventry CT
    My entire family roots are in NH. While I reside in CT I visit and have great concern for maintaining the beauty and nature of NH. I plan to return and make it my home again. Bury Northern Pass or pass it by.
  • Gary Sakinabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Cancer sucks!!
  • Carlin Birkeyabout 11 years ago Glen NH
    After growing up here I have retuned after 20 years as the peace and beauty cannot be met any other place. The people, animals, and visitors deserve to have what little natural places left in this country! Don't kill our mountains and beautiful vistas!
  • Sarah McClennenabout 11 years ago North Woodstock NH
    We enjoy the wilderness, hiking, biking, kayaking. The power lines would pass right through North Woodstock as well as areas of national forest. This is not what I want to see or be around when I am outside.
  • Lorena Meunierabout 11 years ago Wilmington DE
    I love the natural beauty of New Hampshire and am also concerned about the well being of NH residents. Burying power lines sounds like a better way to go in this century.
  • Mark Pattonabout 11 years ago Londonderry NH
    The NH mountains inspire me. A line of steel towers will not.
  • Leigh Leigh Robinsonabout 11 years ago Francestown NH
    Power lines will change the primitive atmosphere and experiences possible in the wilderness. We must preserve areas that give us an opportunity to be just with nature and no trace of the manufactured world. There are few left in the northeast
  • Kristine Gormanabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    We moved to the White Mountains 7 years ago because we support the preservation of its history and nature at its finest.
  • Byron ODonnellabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    As a owner of a small motel I can see nothing good that would come out of the northern pass project as it stands now. If the lines can be underground. the views would not be intruded upon and my guests will continue to return, bury or stop Northern Pass
  • JOHN WILLISabout 11 years ago ARGYLE TX
    I love the White Mountains. Anything to preserve their beauty is worthwhile.
  • Robert Carlinabout 11 years ago Columbia NH
    With today's technology, there's no reason of excuse to use towers.
