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?

  • Edward Morganabout 11 years ago Stow MA
    Stop the Northern Pass!
  • Lisa Dionneabout 11 years ago North Conway NH
    Because you should treat the things you love as important ...
  • Myra Fergusonabout 11 years ago Meriden NH
    We have conserved our 340 acres in perpetuity because of its beauty and wildlife habitat. Why can't the power lines be buried or stay in the current path through NH?
  • Maria Hynesabout 11 years ago EASTON NH
    The residents of the town of Easton has been battling this project from the beginning and we will not give up the fight. No towers to mar our beautiful landscape.
  • Melinda Chamberlainabout 11 years ago Piermont NH
    The value of the White Mountain vistas, tree-plant-and-animal diversity, continuous wilderness, and beauty is unparalleled. It should be protected and preserved for future generations without interruption.
  • elizabeth simpsonabout 11 years ago greenland NH
    Marring the landscape with antiquated power transmission lines is not environamental, therefore not good for the economy of NH.
  • Alan DiStasioabout 11 years ago Hanover NH
    It's not just the power lines, it is also the infrastructure to build and maintain them. The impact would be enormous. There is no going back if this were to be built. Please do not ruin what is a finite limited resource we all now treasure; WMNF.
  • Cathleen Ahernabout 11 years ago Bridgewate NH
    Please don't destroy our natural beauty and endanger wildlife.
  • Zoe Warnerabout 11 years ago Malvern PA
    There should be some places in this country that are allowed to remain wild or at least maintain that appearance.
  • Bruce Kneeabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    I have been nurtured by the beauty of New Hampshire's forests for 70 years. It is a gift that keeps on giving.
  • Lawrence DeLangisabout 11 years ago Bridgewater NH
    My business depends on the natural beauty of New Hampshire and Tourism. Northern Pass and Wind Turbines will kill the business I have worked 20 years to build. Please stop both.
  • cheryl robertsonabout 11 years ago PEPPERELL MA
    The beauty of the White Mountains is breathtaking. It is a rare sight in this part of the country. We should preserve it as such for ourselves and those who come after us.
  • Michele Pennerabout 11 years ago Bretton Woods NH
    Because I don't believe we should spoil the natural beauty of the white mountains!
  • Mark Palmstromabout 11 years ago Milton MA
    As a property owner in NH as well as Mass. we look forward to visiting NH as often as possible. While in NH we hike, mtn. bike and ski and appreciate the importance of the natural habitat.Northern Pass negatives seem to far out way the positives.
  • Mary Dohertyabout 11 years ago Whitefield NH
    Anyone who has ever spent any time in the mountains enjoying the natural beauty of its surroundings understands that this must not happen.
  • Marlene Stranzlabout 11 years ago Laval NH
    New Hampshire is surrounded by natural beautiful scenery...please don't destroy it as we always enjoy the nature, tranquility and fresh air in the beautiful mountains. Thank you :o)
  • Johm Gordonabout 11 years ago Scituate, RI NH
    I own land in Sugar Hill, NH
  • Connie Gauvinabout 11 years ago Plantsville CT
    I am against damaging the pristine views of the NH landscape. Everyone needs to do their part in trying to preserve and protect the White Mtns.
  • Darla Annisabout 11 years ago Milan NH
    Tourism is the main industry that we have left in the North Country;This Canadian company wants to rape our landscape and ruin the views so they can make a huge profit. We do not want them putting power lines of any kind through our state.
  • Alan Rossettoabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    Maine, Vermont & New York can bury the wires why do we have to live overhead wires? Greed!
  • John Blouinabout 11 years ago Medford MA
    We have been enjoying the mountains of NH for many years, and we do not want to see their natural beauty tarnished.
  • Chester Annisabout 11 years ago Milan NH
    This project greatly interferes with our natural resources and beauty and will impact tourism negatively in our State. Tourism in Northern NH is getting to be our Only source of income. No Northern Pass. Thank You.
  • susan beckerabout 11 years ago northumberland NH
    We use only 10% of the NE power grid to begin with. Where I live, most of the folks are off of the grid to begin with. Hydro Quebec has the $ and the wherewithall to bury the lines...and if they cannot make the effort to do so they should just GO HOME.
  • Michael Gouldabout 11 years ago Avon CT
    I was born in Laconia and my sister lives in Colebrook. I plan on retiring here in the near future...DO NOT BLOCK MY VIEW!!!!!!!
  • Ruth Houtteabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    This will be a permanent scare on the beautiful White Mountain National Forest...and it's unnecessary as these lines can be buried. We don't HAVE to do this.
