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?

  • John & Theresa Cederholmabout 11 years ago Madison NH
    For environmental and recreational enjoyment in addition to visitation revenue from visitors to the. mountains and the north therm forests .
  • Brooks Bartlettabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    Not above Not below Not in NH
  • James LoMonacoabout 11 years ago Mansfield Center CT
    Here in Mansfield CT we are watching a replacement set of High tension power lines. The destruction of the landscape for modest towers is astonishing. The magnitude of the NH project will be catastrophic.
  • jocelyn planteabout 11 years ago magog NH
    white mountains are natural playground for many peoples
  • Andrew Clarkabout 11 years ago Neshanic Station NJ
    This is one of the last unspoiled areas on the east coast. We do not need towers through the wilderness!!
  • Thomas O'Keefeabout 11 years ago Braintree MA
    It's better to temporarily scar the environment by burying the transmission lines than to scar it forever with above ground transmission lines and towers.
  • Mike Dohertyabout 11 years ago Burlington MA
    Please protect and retain the natural beauty of our White Mountains. It would be criminal to scar the natural landscape of this New England gem. MD
  • John Thompsonabout 11 years ago Center harbor NH

  • Patrick Ellisabout 11 years ago Northbridge MA
    It would be a tragedy for a construction project like the Northern Pass to destroy miles of forest. It brings civilization to one of the few untouched places we have left. Focus on producing more energy within the United States through sustainable means.
  • Sherman Braganzaabout 11 years ago Boston MA
    I spend a lot of time in the mountains of New Hampshire. While I understand the need for transmission lines, if an alternative (such as burying the lines) exists, then that makes infinitely more sense. Protect what makes New Hampshire special.
  • Robert Flanneryabout 11 years ago Dyke VA
    There are less invasive alternatives to this scar across the mountains.
  • Rob Mannabout 11 years ago Colchester VT
    Its permamence would leave an unnecessary scar for generations
  • Marlene DeLeonabout 11 years ago Foxborough MA
    Above ground high current power lines and generators transmit microwaves that can induce tumors and cancers. Lower the health risks for the residents in the path of these structures.
  • Catherine Amidonabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    Please do not desecrate the majestic views of the White Mountains. They are an important part of American history and remain vital to our economy.
  • Inger Christensenabout 11 years ago Hamden CT
    Let us not destroy the beautiful nature. Leave it as it is to future generations to enjoy the way we are enjoying it.
  • Brian Sweeneyabout 11 years ago Arlington MA
    The wild places of New England are home to the best memories of many many people. Lets see to it that memories aren't all we have left. http://1water1coffee1beer.com/tag/new-hampshire/
  • Jennifer Roseabout 11 years ago Waquoit MA
    I have traveled to the white Mountain region with my children for the past 20 years. The serenity of the landscape is magical and needs to be protected and preserved at all cost.
  • Margaret Kuglerabout 11 years ago Warren RI
    I love hiking in the White Mountains and I bring my "tourist dollars" with me to spend there. I don't want to look at those towers as a visitor, and the people who live in the affected communities want it even less.
  • Jane Hansabout 11 years ago Jamaica Plain MA
    The beauty and the peace of these mountains, source of pleasure to so many over extended time, must be protected. Please take the action necessary to do this.
  • McLaren Harrisabout 11 years ago Chelmsford MA
    Preservation of a natural environment against permanent and visible degradation
  • patricia friesabout 11 years ago Philadelphia PA
    i enjoy hiking in the white mountains espeically franconia notch - don't take away that beauty of uninterrupsted pristine view
  • Stacie Popeabout 11 years ago Wolfeboro NH
    Thoughtful planning requires taking environmental consequences into account. The Northern Pass does not, not for NH, not for Canada.
  • Curt Weissingerabout 11 years ago Woodstock CT
    PLEASE do not let the beauty that God created be disrupted by a group of folks seeking money.
  • Cynthia Raababout 11 years ago Amherst NH
    We need to PRESERVE the natural beauty of NH. Technology can be BURIED underground!!!!!!!! They bury everything in California!!!!!
  • Irwin Abramsabout 11 years ago Village of Nagog Woods MA
    This line should be buried..
