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?

  • Gretchen Websterabout 11 years ago Gloucester MA
    I 'go to the woods' when I need to recharge my batteries!
  • Ramona Goutiereabout 11 years ago Ashland NH
    Nowhere is the power--or beauty--of 'place" more important than the White Mountain National Forest and the Great North Woods of New Hampshire. These lands are our legacy to the future. The place for Northern Pass--if justified at all--is UNDERGROUND.
  • Kirk Leoniabout 11 years ago Weare NH
    It is important that we preserve the "REAL" NH advantage, its natural beauty and recreational value. There must be a viable alternative to above ground transmission.
  • DeMeo Paulabout 11 years ago Falmouth MA
    This project is unnecessary and will only ruin the beautiful views and hurt NH tourism.
  • Jeff Ruhloffabout 11 years ago Beacon Falls CT
    The Northern Pass project is for corporate benefit, supplying power that is not needed. Power can be made available through conservation. To scar the landscape of New Hampshire will not benefit the people of the state.
  • Rafae Martinezabout 11 years ago Miami Springs FL
    Having just returned from a 54 mile backpacking trip from Lincoln To Hanover, New Hampshire it is imperative that the natural beauty of our White Mountains, The Appalachian Trail and other federal and state lands be preserved for my generation and all.
  • Stephen Papaleabout 11 years ago Worcester MA
    To keep the beauty of the White Mountains. Bury the lines if there is a corridor already for safety.
  • Emelyn Gilmoreabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    The more development and increased population we have the more important it is to maintain natural areas of recreation.
  • Peter Russellabout 11 years ago Salem NH
    The White Mountain National forest belongs to all of us ,it should not be degraded to profit the few.
  • Marcia Rolandabout 11 years ago Franklin NC
    I feel there are OTHER OPTIONS available to NOT continue to scar, obstruct and destroy the beauty of this area not only for hikers but also for the cities, towns and neighborhoods that would also be affected by this unnecessary construction.
  • Swansea Bleicherabout 11 years ago Chesterfield MA
    I have hiked in the White Mountains since I was a child and I now bring my children. I hope that their children, too, will be able to enjoy the natural beauty without the obstruction this would cause.
  • Steve Mansfieldabout 11 years ago White Plains NY
    I hike in the White Mountains.
  • Raymond Lemoineabout 11 years ago Woonsocket RI
    We have towers like these in Rhode Island they have a very negative impact on the outdoor wilderness experience.
  • Jennifer Shoretteabout 11 years ago Bristol CT
    I grew up in the Whites and love them are they are. The impact of the Northern Pass's proposed plans would be too severe, both ecologically and economically. Please, find another way. New Hampshire's natural beauty is just too precious.
  • David Nelsonabout 11 years ago Atlanta GA
    I hie the White Mountains frequently and want to preserve as much of the pristine visual impact as possible
  • Madolynne Zimmermanabout 11 years ago Bethel ME
    the natural beauty of New England is one of it's greatest resources and an important source of income.
  • Stephen Frolingabout 11 years ago Hancock NH
    Both reliable energy supplies and unspoiled wildlands are important - choose an option which provides both!
  • Joan Karpfabout 11 years ago Twin Mountain NH
    Protect the economic future of NH tourism.
  • Joseph Keenanabout 11 years ago LANCASTER NH
    My 280 acres look out on the Vermont horizon toward the west. Instead of an uninterrupted view, I would look at a row of towers. Bury ALL of it, please!!!
  • Charles Hurwitzabout 11 years ago Waltham MA
    Protect NH wilderness areas for future generations!
  • Jo Speakerabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    Preserve the awesome parks/view NH has
  • Matt LaRocheabout 11 years ago Northfield NH
    The beauty of New Hampshires natural landscape needs to be protected.
  • janice Roseabout 11 years ago Conway NH
    Protected lands such as the White Mountains and the forests around them should remain protected! And this means- No Northern Pass! Why not bury the cables instead?
  • linda torrisiabout 11 years ago DERRY NH
    We to not want it or need it. It will not employ NH. Only benefits PSNH. Destroys NH farms, view & wildlife.
  • jacqueline forestabout 11 years ago plymouth NH
    I have hiked these mountains for years, and want them to remain pristine for the enjoyment of future generations. jf
