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.
I've seen how the views in North Haverill have been affected and I don't want to see the same thing happen to the towns through which this project is scheduled to affect.

Preserving the natural beauty of NH

The natural landscape is one of NH's most valuable economic and spiritual assets. We must do all we can to preserve our ecology and maintenance of our forests, clean water and wildlife habitat. As a minimum these lines must be buried.
Christine Cassabout 12 years ago Cromwell CT
I spent many summers in Colebrook, NH and Lemington, VT. Put the lines underground and have the environment remain beautiful. It is electricity for the Boston area. Educate people to conserve electricity!!!!!!

This is blighting NH with no long term benefit to NH and IT COULD BE BURIED ENTIRELY - and be safer!
Sharry Bakerabout 12 years ago Etna NH
The environment needs to be protected for the health and well being of people and wildlife. Our scenic country side is precious and should not be ruined to supply power to another state.

We are stewards of our land and need to save it all for our children and grandchildren. This is important!

We have lost too much land that will not be managed for timber production. This will dramatically change our landscape. It can be buried.

The negative impact of Northern Pass on the state's environment, coupled with the cost to our tourism economy, is huge and is not offset by any benefit to our economy.

Bury the lines to preserve NH"s beauty for this and future generations.

The environmental and economic cost are too high for overhead lines. Bury the lines or no deal.

We love the North Country, specifically hiking in Columbia, Dixville Notch, Pittsburg, etc. These power lines would destroy the beauty that is New Hampshire.

It would be a blight on the landscape.

For my children, and their children, and their children, and their children...

There is no reason not to bury transmission line. Wilderness lost is never recovered.
Robin Reynoldsabout 12 years ago Manchester, nh NH
It will evicerate the NH landscape, tourism, economy and offers only temp construction jobs.
Cindy Zylkuski Norrisabout 12 years ago haverhill MA
We love the White's in our neighbor state, NH. It is where we grew up sight seeing & hiking. Preserve the scenery that brings most of us to your state and at least insist on burying the lines.
Kevin Millerabout 12 years ago Dover NH
Although the Northern Pass will not pass through Dover, its effect on the whole state will be felt here. Our natural beauty of the forests and country side will be affected for purely economic gain
