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,

  • Caroline Helmuthabout 11 years ago New York NY
    My dearest friend was born in Colebrook and I have visited there many times. The landscape is peerless and should stay that way.
  • Anne Ilacquaabout 11 years ago Lincoln NH
    We should not be forced to live with their towers.
  • Gary Ostrowskiabout 11 years ago Windham NH
    The lines should be buried to preserve the landscape and views.
  • Pat Mc Goughabout 11 years ago Florham Pk NJ
    It makes sense!
  • Tom McGoughabout 11 years ago Florham Pk NJ
    It makes very good sense!

    I love hiking in the mountains whatever state they are in and won't want them destroy the beauty that next generations could enjoy.

  • Cynthia Lanchesterabout 11 years ago Ewing NJ
    We own a house in Easton, NH, and don't want the view ruined.
  • S. Jeffrey Edmondabout 11 years ago Chichester NH
    Quality of life, beauty of our amazing state and anti-bullying campaigns of big business!
  • Deborah Whiteabout 11 years ago Rye NH
    To preserve the character of our beautiful state.
  • david sandbergabout 11 years ago hampton NH
    to preserve the scenic beauty of our great State which is worth a great deal more in the long run than saving a few dollars via above ground lines vs. underground lines
  • christina wowkabout 11 years ago wenham MA
    We can implement better, non invasive ways to power our cities. We can not jeopardize the fragile ecosystems of the White Mountains as it will have a subsequent consequence down the road.
  • Madge Nickersonabout 11 years ago Alton NH
    I am against visual polution in NH for the benefit of our southern neighbors.
  • Thomas Southworthabout 11 years ago Lancaster NJ
    like an interstate passing through our state that we cannot use and unacceptably ugly
  • Christopher Grantabout 11 years ago Center Sandwich NH
    The lines need to be buried next to the Interstate highways - it's a no-brainer!
  • Martha Grantabout 11 years ago Center Sandwich NH
    We need to preserve what makes NH special
  • Roger Greyabout 11 years ago sanbornton NH
    I do not want to see the North Country skyline spoiled by unsightly power lines. Bury the lines or cancel the project.
  • Emily Hopkinsabout 11 years ago North Grafton MA
    Wild places in the outdoors are an irreplaceable resource. We have no right to mar these resources for a pipeline.
  • Peter Boscoabout 11 years ago Old Greeenwich CT
    I have been hiking the White Mountains and the North Country for over 35 years. I come up a few times a year. If the towers are built as proposed, I will hike in Vermont or Maine. Please do not allow these towers to be erected.
