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?

  • Donald Stapelfeldabout 11 years ago North Haverhill NH
    The corporations behind this venture should be made to put the lines underground. Northern NH is pristine and should not be ruined. Governor Hassan please oppose this project or make them put all the wires underground.
  • Gloria Potterabout 11 years ago Jefferson NH
    I chose to move here after searching the country for several reasons (not enuf space to list all. 1) A strong commitment from residents and visitors to keep and protect the environment and unobstructed beauty of Northern New Hampshire.
  • Debora Websterabout 11 years ago Moultonborough NH
    The natural beauty that surrounds us in the Granite State would forever be compromised if Northern Pass project is built.
  • Janis Frisselleabout 11 years ago Milton NH
    Preserve the natural beauty of our forests and state. Bury the lines or stop the project. Overhead lines are outdated, we have better options available to us to conscientiously expand energy access.
  • Arnie Schellerabout 11 years ago Wentworth NH
    The states future is in it's natural beauty. why destroy it for the energy needs of other states. New Hamshire is energy independent now , other states should conserve or develop there own energy sufficiency
  • Jessica Charonabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    Citezens of nh are against this project. We have made this very clear. Corporations are not people.
  • Robert Humphreyabout 11 years ago Warner NH
    This project as proposed will seriously impact the WMNF by cutting a huge swath through the forest and seriously impacting views .. If we must go through with this project bury the transmission lines! Save our forests for future generations.
  • Dylan Russellabout 11 years ago Ipswich MA
    The woods and mountains are the only reason I have to visit/spend money in your state. The northern pass plans would likely change that, a did just start climbing the Adirondacks instead.
  • Jim Emmondabout 11 years ago Amherst NH
    Quality of life in NH
  • Benson Eisenbergabout 11 years ago Randolph NH
    I want to see the transmission lines put underground in order to preserve the landscape for residents,our children, and visitors. It is important for the economy of NH.
  • Dawn Steeleabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    The Northern Pass will destroy the beauty of North Country, property values with little benefit to us. There is no reason NOT to explore new technology and bury lines down the interstate to benefit the residents of NH.
  • Dana Stevensabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    Lets Just Say No to Northern Pass we have so many river and streams that we could have hidrow and Solar power leave the mountains alone
  • Angelina Gagneabout 11 years ago Newton MA
    I grew up in NH enjoying the mountains and NH's natural beauty. Now living in MA, I regularly spend time in NH enjoying the mtns. and natural scenery.
  • Gail Darrellabout 11 years ago Center Barnstead NH
    Generations have held our hearts to the sacred beauty of this land. The people have a right to reject the project, Ms. Hassan, and you have a duty to represent us. No Northern Pass.
  • Gene Patenaudeabout 11 years ago Whispering Pines NC
    I grew up in New Hampshire and hiked the mountains often. Now, I return annually to visit this beautiful area and enjoy the many attractions.
  • Paul J Mercier Jrabout 11 years ago Canterbury NH
    This project is unnecessary to NH, it will destroy pristine forest and steal both real economic and aesthetic value from many NH citizens. Just because someone has a right of way does not mean that they do not need to respect their next door neighbors.
  • Suzanna Jordanabout 11 years ago North Brookfield MA
    I've vacationed in the Whites and have wonderful memories of the natural beauty of that area.
  • Leslie Irvingabout 11 years ago Salisbury NH
    Let's enter a new era.
  • Rick Majercikabout 11 years ago N. Oxford MA
    The White Mtns are a New England treasure and their beauty should be protected at all costs. The great state of NH is abundant with hiking, biking, climbing and paddling opportunities that should be preserved. Best Regards
  • John Wrightabout 11 years ago Lawrence MA
    I do not want to see the towers. I want to see the beauty of the mountains.
  • Keith Stewardabout 11 years ago Framingham MA
    I am a member of the AMC and the primary reason I visit NH is because of its beautiful unspoiled landscapes. The future proliferation of overhead towers through the NH landscape would therefore diminish my attraction the your state.
  • John Bruceabout 11 years ago Farmington NH
    I enjoy hiking rather look at Gods creation not power lines. It would discourage folks from hiking and any other out door activities.
  • Elga O'Dellabout 11 years ago Falmouth MA
    To preserve one of the few places that still feels like wilderness and brings solace to the soul.
  • Karen Eitelabout 11 years ago Randolph NH
    We live in a special place in this world. Our news is filled with the discontent of people who are not lucky enough to live in this environment. NH residents will not benefit from this at all. Keep our forests as they are for future generations to enjoy.
  • Calvin C. Kolb Jr.about 11 years ago Gilford NH
    This picture says it all !.The Majestic beauty.
