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?

  • Linda Samsonabout 11 years ago Stewartstown NH
    Once the integrity of the land and the beauty are destroyed, there is no going back. Do not allow our heritage to be destroyed for private gain. NH is special, the people are special, let it stay that way.
  • Steven Dionneabout 11 years ago Laconia NH
    Preservation New Hampshire's natural beauty, self-determination and sovereignty
  • Christopher Marshallabout 11 years ago Bristol NH
    nH should be treated fairly by This firm and lines buried the entire length
  • Lee Ann Moulderabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    New Hampshire should not be the overhead extension cord for Southern New England. Why should the pristine beauty of New Hampshire be destroyed with 1,500 towers when the viable alternative is to bury the lines using HVDC Light Technology.
  • Douglas Robertsonabout 11 years ago Warren NH
    The beauty of our unsoiled mountains is a treasure we must preserve.
  • Patricia Kelloggabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    Please: save our state from being ruined by hundreds of ugly towers; bury the lines or STOP this travesty from happening!
  • Elizabeth Stoneabout 11 years ago nh NH
    I don't want to see our beautiful landscape ruined! (not to mention the other ramifications!)
  • skye maherabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    Open wild space if a rare commodity. We must care for it as for any other rare and irreplaceable resource. Conservation is our first step. "Keep all the parts."
  • donald ayerabout 11 years ago delton MI
    As a native born son of NH I have loved the forests and mountains of NH for most of my 85 years!
  • Barry Borellaabout 11 years ago Center Harbor NH
    I want to preserve what ;little is left of the scenic, rural nature of NH
  • Jane Brickettabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    I have always lived in NH. My roots go deep. We must honor our heritage as we move forward. Stringing a power line the length of NH neither honors our heritage nor does this regressive proposal represent progress. At the very least, bury these lines!
  • Jean Boyntonabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    Hydro Quebec has done enough environmental damage in it quest for electrical power. Please don't let them do more!
  • Anne Rousseauabout 11 years ago Dover NH
    I treasure our scenic NH vistas. I hike the Whites and I spend all my vacations right here at home in NH. Please make them bury the lines. Preserve the natural beauty of the state.
  • Sarah Gilsonabout 11 years ago Hanover NH
    We need trees physically and spiritually.
  • Terry Lochheadabout 11 years ago Canterbury NH
    I know you must be getting a lot of people who need jobs that Northern Pass would temporarily provide but sometimes we have to l
  • William&Dodie Finlaysonabout 11 years ago Wilton NH
    We are heartbroken over the ruination of so many natural areas worldwide, and appalled by the long term stupidity of that destruction. This one happens to be the one we live in.
  • Jane Pinelabout 11 years ago Hillsborough NH
    For the beauty and the economy, tourist industry, of New Hampshire.
  • gerry coffeyabout 11 years ago Hollis NH
    This has been going on too long, enough. We do not want our woods destroyed, bury or go away!
  • Dave Andersonabout 11 years ago danderson@forestsociety.org NH
    New Hampshire is unique and special; unlike other State's which had long ago forfieted scenic and recreation tourism advantages NH still enjoys.
  • Cacia Leshabout 11 years ago Petoskey MI
    I spent summers on Newfound Lake and am blessed to return every year still, hopefully to instill the same wonders and love of the outdoors in my twin boys.
  • David Palmerabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    I moved here for the mountains.
  • Elaine Kellermanabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    If you want to preserve the beauty of NH for the present and future, you must take a stand against the placement of towering transmission lines.
  • grgeory lewisabout 11 years ago colebrook NH

  • Lisa Montesantoabout 11 years ago Amherst NH
    We have to take a stand and protect our natural, beautiful environment- what's left of it!
  • Lisy Meyersabout 11 years ago north Haverhill NH
    Stop Northern Pass. Nobody wants this. There is nothing to be gained for NH. There would be only desecration of our landscape and the start of a ruinous decline.
