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?

  • Jay Ellsmoreabout 11 years ago Dallas TX
    Without wilderness, what's the point?
  • patricia thatcherabout 11 years ago acton MA
    keeping our wild areas wild is necessary to sustain all life.
  • Lynn Harrisonabout 11 years ago Bridgton ME
    to preserve as much wilderness as possible
  • Ian Jessenabout 11 years ago Concord MA
    WMNF is a national treasure that brings rugged wilderness to millions of tightly packed New Englanders. Alternatives to the proposed Northern Pass can exist - there are no alternatives to our irreplaceable mountains.
  • Patrick Kelseyabout 11 years ago Lyndonville VT
    I love my New England mtns untouched
  • Ann Mariah Cookabout 11 years ago Jefferson NH
    This is our state, not a thru-run for private concerns masquerading as public ventures.
  • Tamsin Durandabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    We hike in the White Mountains a couple of times per month. It would be devastating to see the scenery change with the Northern Pass.
  • Jason Inglisabout 11 years ago New Durham NH
    Help protect New Hampshire
  • Beverly Ash-Larsonabout 11 years ago Chicago IL
    Please save the beautiful scenery and natural habitat that we so much enjoyed when we hiked in the mountains on our visit to New Hampshire.

    I'm a hiker
  • Jack Kyleabout 11 years ago Reading MA
    My wife & I go to Northern New Hampshire to get away from all the power grids in Mass.
  • Louis Taylorabout 11 years ago Nashville TN
    We must STOP despoiling our environment. If we don't this Earth will eventually be unfit for humans and other life including our own progeny
  • Danielle Rodriguesabout 11 years ago jefferson NH
    Tourist come up here for the views and if we put up all these towers it just won't be the same. Tourism is whats gets up by up here why would we agree to ruin the views?
  • April Richardabout 11 years ago Santa sna CA
    It's home
  • Leane Garlandabout 11 years ago Montpelier VT
    I live in Vermont and support New Hampshire's efforts to limit power lines in the Northern Forest. At last bury the lines, or develop alternative power sources that don't require them.
  • Nicole Nicole Sauvageauabout 11 years ago Miami Beach FL
    I grew up in the White Mountains and my motto will always be Live Free Or Die.Greatness of nature over greed of corporations!!!
  • Michael Woodabout 11 years ago Swampscott MA

  • Kristen Kraussabout 11 years ago Brielle NJ

  • Ruby Spicerabout 11 years ago Portland ME
    The White Mountains are deeply important to me as a place of spiritual retreat and renewal, as I know they are for others.. Some areas must be left wild.
  • Susan Locantoreabout 11 years ago Sanbornton NH
  • Robert Gilchrestabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    I love hikingin hte mountains and the pristine views
  • Michael Scanlon, APRN, MPHabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    Water and the watersheds of New Hampshire MUST be the priority as the world warms dramatically. Water will, in the end, determine everything.
  • James Ashabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    Why should we allow Northern Pass to ruin our New Hampshire scenic beauty, and thus part of our North Country economy, when it is entirely possible to bury the lines for this project?
  • Maureen Gannon Rowleyabout 11 years ago campton NH
    This is our country not Canada!! We should not be purchasing our electric from another country...
