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?

  • Lynn Dgetluckabout 11 years ago East Longmeadow MA
    Let those vistas remain wild and free. There are other options.
  • Christopher Walkerabout 11 years ago Downingtown PA
    There can be other ways for the line to go like underground or alternative energy sources.
  • wm gaskinabout 11 years ago dover NH
    Hiker
  • Cheryl Washwellabout 11 years ago West Bridgewater MA
    There are so few vistas and places of natural beauty still unchanged. Please keep this pure.
  • Gerald Moodyabout 11 years ago Milford MA
    It is not necessary
  • thomas sintrosabout 11 years ago alstead NH
    enough human intrusions, please stop. When will we decide enough. Solar, solar, solar. Decentralizing energy supplies is the future.
  • Joyce McDonoughabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    This is a world class site! It needs long range protection.
  • Sharon Osbornabout 11 years ago Beach Haven NJ
    New Hampshire is where I spent the happiest years of my life. Desecrating it with these towers would be a shameful, needless thing.
  • Peng-Khuan Chongabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    To keep NH's panoramic view pure and beautiful
  • Christopher Williamsabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    Preserving the picturesque views, especially in major travel corridors of the state is of vital impotance to preserving NH's sense of place for future generations.
  • Kristen Adamsabout 11 years ago Boston MA
    I grew up in NH and still consider the White Mtns the most beautiful place in the entire world!
  • Sara Norrisabout 11 years ago Ellsworth NH
    Keep New Hampshire beautiful. So many of it's residents and tourists rely on its beauty and outdoor lifestyle.
  • Joshua Taillonabout 11 years ago Washington MD
  • Matthew Banikabout 11 years ago Plainville MA
    Natural areas cannot be manufactured, what remains must be protected and preserved.
  • Raina Chongabout 11 years ago Washington DC
    Keep NH beautiful. NH relies on tourism. City Tourists don't want to see power lines. We want to see untouched nature.
  • Stacey G. Yapabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    The Northern Pass power line is right on the edge of my property; it will also obstruct the scenic view of the Tenney Mountain my house faces. Property & real estate value will go down and selling this property will be difficult.
  • Carl Lehnerabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    I live here
  • todd dunphyabout 11 years ago hokderness NH
    I don't want to see the lab I grew up on with a polluted skyline or landscape.
  • Keith Banceabout 11 years ago North Wales PA
    There are better routes to do this that are less invasive to the wild areas and the towns on the proposed routes. Do it right!!
  • Angelika Evansabout 11 years ago Westwood MA
    The power lines should be underground as that would require less maintenance and would not interfere with the pristine views and landscapes that the lines will go through. These vistas are irreplaceable and need to be preserved for future generations.
  • Douglas Frazierabout 11 years ago York ME
    If the power line is that important, then the appropriate solution is ultimately environmentally, aesthetically, and financially viable if and only if the power line is buried and the line site is as unobstrusive as possible.
  • Robert Blaisdellabout 11 years ago Derry NH
    I would like to see a landscape without the gun of power lines. I would like to see our access to these public lands protected.
  • Margaret Mould-Cooneyabout 11 years ago Forty Fort PA
    too dangerous a proposal...we need to look after the environment...not abuse it
  • Laura Foleyabout 11 years ago Granville MA
    Letting the northern pass happen with out any concideration to the wilderness sends a message that the earth is something to be wasted. We need to show our children that just because something is easy to do, does not mean its the right thing to do.
  • Timothy Burrowsabout 11 years ago New York NY
    We need to protect our natural environments. Large power line projects ruin views and damage the environment. Why can't these lines be put under ground?
