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?

  • Robert Albrightabout 11 years ago Fort Lauderdale FL
    We own property very close to the proposed route and feel it would be criminal to defile the national forest and the white mountains with such an eyesore.
  • vincent carlucciabout 11 years ago pittsburg NH
    big business is not my friend.
  • Cheryl Westonabout 11 years ago Tewksbury MA
    If the power companies are able to bury the lines in VT and ME, why not in NH? Why damage pristine forests and land rather than following easily accessible paths already cleared?
  • Margaret Hofmannabout 11 years ago West Lebanon NH
    I'd like to leave my grandchildren an unspoiled New Hampshire.
  • Barbara Russellabout 11 years ago New Boston NH
    It's the RIGHT thing to do.
  • Chris Smithabout 11 years ago Memphis TN
    I drove up/down the border of ME last summer (Rte 1/1A & Trans-Can 2). The windmills stick out - even in that vast expanse. Can't imagine how badly they'd mar the vistas at home in NH. Do not give in to NP on this - it would be an unrecoverable loss.
  • Lynn EDWARDSabout 11 years ago AUBURN NH
    Once the land is defaced - we will never get it back. This is what makes NH the way it is!
  • MARK SILVAabout 11 years ago SANDOWN NH
    THE BEAUTY OF NATURE SHOULD BE PRESERVED. Solar is the way of the future, Homes independently powered. invest in that! protect the forest, we need it.
  • Peter Silbermannabout 11 years ago Bridgewater NH
    It preserves what I most cherish about living in NH - natural and scenic views.
  • Robert Wofchuckabout 11 years ago Brentwood NH
    Please keep the beauty of the land and use the sensible existing rtravel corridors to bury the lines out of sight and with more proctection from the weather.
  • Donna Muirabout 11 years ago Belmont NH
    Because it would be an eyesore and hurt the beauty and tourism of the state.
  • John Turcotteabout 11 years ago Bedford NH
    Preserving the aesthetics of the NH countryside.
  • Terry Melleabout 11 years ago Gilmanton IW NH
    NH is a beautiful state and above ground power lines are U-G-L-Y and unnecessary.
  • Paul Guyreabout 11 years ago Lyme NH
    Tourism is NH's best shot at continued fiscal solvency. Northern Pass will lead to the New Jersification of NH--not help tourism.
  • Richard Beaulieuabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    Reducing property values and taking away the beauty of the New Hampshire landscape
  • Cynthia Brussabout 11 years ago Springfield NH
    This project is not to benefit NH. And the land that is flooded to provide the power is criminal.
  • mark niemanabout 11 years ago Weare NH
    The visual blight would be lessened, and another company that thought NH was a bunch of pushovers, look at the money NP was throwing around, has to follow the rules. Our rules with respect to the environment.
  • barbara Finlayabout 11 years ago Sudbury MA
    It is terribly important to us as we now have a cottage with a beautiful unimpeded view of the mountains .PLEASE help to keep those ugly towers away from our sight.Thank you. BF
  • Sally Harrisabout 11 years ago Newbury NH
    Please preserve the beauty of our state!! We live here because of it, and we rely on tourism.
  • Norman LaBrecqueabout 11 years ago Franklin NH
    Want to keep the natural beauty of NH as pristine as we are able.
  • Robert S. Athertonabout 11 years ago Belmont NH
    To protect our great wilderness country.
  • Daane Crookabout 11 years ago Rye NH
    The beauty and biological integrity of our natural world should be protected to the best of our ability. Burying the line is thus the way to go if the line is to be constructed at all. Otherwise, NO NORTHERN PASS!
  • Susan Brownabout 11 years ago North Haverhill NH
    scenery!!!!
  • LIsa Plourdeabout 11 years ago Goffstown NH
    The northern part of our state is beautiful, and needs to stay that way.
  • Jane Hemmingsenabout 11 years ago Hollis NH
    We breathe clean air!
