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?

  • Judy Mercerabout 11 years ago North Woodstock NH
    Love the beauty of NH. Once lost, lost forever. Please stop this.
  • John Grilloabout 11 years ago Orono ME
    "... in Wildness is the preservation of the world." From "Walking" by Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817-May 6, 1862). Nineteenth-century New England Transcendentalist, naturalist, and essayist from Concord, Massachusetts.
  • Jody Yeatonabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    I don't like towers, I don't want to see them on the mountains, and I don't want to hear the HUM when I hunt! It'll destroy the NH landscape.
  • cheryl rascoeabout 11 years ago san antonio TX
    My favorite Aunt, Mary Lee lives in New Hampshire . I want to continue to enjoy the beauty of NH and bring my grandchildren in the future!
  • Mike Jensenabout 11 years ago Billerica MA
    I'm a father of two little boys. I love the outdoors and I want to teach my boys to love it as well. I want them to fall in love with the same woods that I have.
  • Todd Rainierabout 11 years ago Hooksett NH
    Let's be forward thinking and keep NH beautiful! I am a NH native and believe strongly in our NH values. Clean power is smart power. Clean power that creates a blight to our aesthetics and consequently compromises our tourism AND values is NOT smart power!
  • Marianne Yeatonabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    We need to preserve the natural beauty of our region.
  • Liz Youngabout 11 years ago Dighton NH
    Please keep our mountains and trails natural and BURY This plan!
  • Deirdre Sheerr-Grossabout 11 years ago New London NH
    I want to keep NH wild and beautiful… It's such a part of who we are. It galls me that Canada wants to run their profit making enterprise through our fabulous state… They just want to use New Hampshire... not help us. I find this absurd!
  • Dorothea Dorothea Kerleeabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    This area does not benefit, and it will detract from the beauty
  • Christopher Achornabout 11 years ago Whitefield NH
    I hike, ski, fish, hunt, boat, kayak and LIVE in NH. I DONT WANT TO SEE POWER LINES DESTROY GHE BESUTY.
  • Ashley Laderabout 11 years ago Moultonborough NH
    This is not NEEDED. There are other ways to get energy, without destroying our beautiful land.
  • Rick Whitneyabout 11 years ago Andover NH
    If you've ever spent any time hiking in Quebec you know how awful these towers are, and even how •loud• they are when snow and rain fall on the lines. Please keep them away from us!
  • Jessica Andersonabout 11 years ago Hendersonville TN
    More power, tech, we all feed off it like it's our only way to survive. leave alone what we've not yet destroyed of God's Creation. Have our minds turn to mush from idolizing money, power and unnecessary ways? Its just lazy.
  • Jerome Hogansonabout 11 years ago Arlington VA
    As hikers & grandparents of hikers, but also as Americans who value our natural landscapes, preserving the grandeur of these iconic vistas is extremely important;
  • Ed Swansonabout 11 years ago Scottsdale AZ
    Long distance power transmission facilities are intrusive to the lancscape and tends to impede conversion to decentralized electricity supply by renewable technologies.
  • Michael Ryderabout 11 years ago Bedford NH
    Let’s strike the balance between conversation, views, future generations, power needs and just bury the lines.
  • Kathie Abermanabout 11 years ago Liberty NY
    I don't see the necessity for destroying this beauty and this wildness. We need to think more ahead and envision the future.
  • R.Scott Beliveauabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    retain the beauty of the great north woods,un-necessary venture which has no benefits for the state of NH
  • Susan Hartnettabout 11 years ago Easton NH
    New Hampshire's unspoiled scenery drew us to this state and drives the state's tourism economy. A phalanx of steel towers marching over Sugar Hill and up through the WMNF? Drive to Montreal and you will see what that would look like. Unthinkable.
  • Rex Gallagherabout 11 years ago Hampton NH
    I love the outdoors and New Hampshire. Greedy shareholders only have $$ in sight in their limited vision of the future.
  • John Vernazzaabout 11 years ago Chatham NJ
    We spend a lot of time and dollars in NH to enjoy the beauty of the state. This sort of project would make us rethink our future plans. Alo, and more importantly, this is an unnecessary intrusion into our few remaining wilderness areas
  • William A. Downeyabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    The environment is essential to our existence, well being and economy! No! No! No!
  • scott j BELLabout 11 years ago REHOBOTH MA
    The northern forests have long been a peaceful retreat for me and my family.Not to mention the biodiversity that makes this area indispensable in our ecosystem.
  • Steffan Northabout 11 years ago center Conway NH
    Unconvinced how this is good for NH
