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?

  • Meredith Goertelabout 11 years ago Hooksett NH
    Giant towers would be a devastating scar on New Hampshire.
  • Dan Jaffeabout 11 years ago Framingham MA
    The future of our forests is our future as well.
  • Patricia Kasparianabout 11 years ago Wilmington MA
    Conservation for future generations/ I'm a parent.
  • Carter Judkinsabout 11 years ago West Peterborough NH
    I have hiked all the 4000 footers and I care about our natural landscape!
  • Peter Nightingaleabout 11 years ago Lisbon NH
    I'm an avid hiker and local business owner. I believe the impact to tourism will be significant and thus a negative for our area.
  • Jed Potterabout 11 years ago Rumson NJ
    The Northern Pass is a beautiful area and a treasure. Please don't make it like New Jersey!
  • Carole Chanlerabout 11 years ago Andover MA
    I think it is wrong to infringe on land that has been set aside for it's natural beauty. Northern Pass should bury the lines or find another way. They should not be given the right to desecrate an area for profit. Bad precedent.
  • Elizabeth Thurstonabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    We need to stop letting big companies try to tell us how to live and ruin what we all hold so dear. I want my children to be able to grow up and go hiking like I did and still do!
  • Mary Leeabout 11 years ago Northfield NH
    Protect our mts. & environment. Northern Pass proposal is not needed. Environmental justice for NH calls for latest technology--bury transmission lines. Our mts. are our legacy to future public users--do not give it away.
  • Stephen Traftonabout 11 years ago Hopkinton NH
    There will always be a "need" for more energy facilities of all kinds - that infinite demand should not be met by sacrificing New England's very finite wild places. The woods and hills have paid their price, many times over.
  • Moses Carrabout 11 years ago Somerville MA
    My family has owned a small place in northern NH for 40 plus years. My dad spends half of his time there.
  • David Bottaiabout 11 years ago Manchester NH
    the need to preserve the heritage of this state is even more important now when we can see the results of the damage to other states from careless planning.
  • William Leachabout 11 years ago Rockport MA
    There are few relatively pristine places left. Don't destroy the vistage with towers; bury the lines.
  • david lebrunabout 11 years ago newburyport MA
    hiking
  • April Lakeviciusabout 11 years ago Warner NH
    Protecting the precious resource of the white mountains for future generations!
  • Timothy Moreabout 11 years ago Providence RI
    Burial along Existing Transportation corridors is the RIGHT thing to do. Thank You.
  • John W Newtonabout 11 years ago South Natick MA
    For beauty, heritage and communal use in its pristine nature
  • Charles Taylorabout 11 years ago Fairfax CA
    I have been hiking in white mountains for 40 years. Please so not ruin the beautiful views with towers.
  • Ronald Molinabout 11 years ago Needham MA
    I have hiked and skied in NH for over fifty years. There is no need for this disruption.
  • Chris Vivierabout 11 years ago Somerville MA
    The White Mountain landscape is a unique, valuable and beautifully defining characteristic of the state of New Hampshire. Please do all you can to avoid this visual and environmental scar on our tremendous natural resource.
  • Jane Sylvestreabout 11 years ago Franklin NH
    Leave our mountains alone.
  • Jack LaPreabout 11 years ago Marlborough MA
    To keep the wilderness as pristine as possible.
  • Barbara Skypala-Conwayabout 11 years ago Honey Brook PA
    Have vacationed and hiked the area for many years. The NP project is not for the transmission of clean energy and is not for the benefit of the state of NH. This beautiful natural resource should be preserved for posterity.
  • Carol Baldwinabout 11 years ago Smithfield RI
    AMC member and hiker. It's very important to keep this, and as much land as possible, as pristine for everyone to enjoy and pass to future generations.
  • Christopher Garnerabout 11 years ago Nashua NH
    I value the unspoiled NH forests and mountains and the economic vitality that travel and tourism bring to the state. Northern Pass will damage this unique resource.
