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?

    I bike and hike and do not want my views impeded
  • Larry Grenierabout 10 years ago Amherast NH
    I am a chemical engineer with certificates in air, soil, and water testing. No pipe line has ever been without severe contamination problems that still has further problems.
  • Mark Langevinabout 10 years ago Center Harbor NH
    NH makes enough electricity to sustain itself and quite a bit for export. Northern Pass is for "parts south". Bury it ALL or forget it.
  • Mikayla Clarkeabout 10 years ago Gilford NH
    If we were to set up towers and other structure to transport the energy from Canada, the trees, as well as homes of various native animals and habitats would be gone.
  • Shanna Valliereabout 10 years ago Berlin NH
    It's the right thing to do. Bury it.
  • Alison Carusoabout 10 years ago Bethlehem NH
    The landscape of our state will be marred forever with the erections of the towers abutting the White Mountains. Please, stop the permanent destroyal of the untouched beauty of many nearby towns and villages, including our town of Bethlehem. Thank you.
  • janet millsabout 10 years ago goshen NY
    mother nature should not be on the run in 2015's
  • Carolyn Jerardabout 10 years ago Acworth
    Hydro-Quebec has devastated the Native people flooded from their homes in Canada. People and the natural environment should not be treated this way.
  • Andrew Michaudabout 10 years ago Londonderry NH
    The Whaite Mountains are something to be preserved, not trampled on
  • Michelle Jelleyabout 10 years ago Tewksbury MA
    New Hampshire is our Northern Neighbor. We spend a lot of time there. We enjoy the scenery and want to keep it like it is.
  • Richard Estesabout 10 years ago Peterborough NH
    New Hampshire's natural heritage should not be held hostage to such an extraordinarily destructive project that offers no benefit to our state.
  • Kristy Perrettaabout 10 years ago Brookline NH
    If we can save our landscape by burying instead, I say, YES PLEASE!
  • Christopher Cookabout 10 years ago Hillsboro NH
    Because I'm from New Hampshire and believe we should protect our environment. I also believe the money spent on the Northern Pass could be used to do better things, and find better alternatives. But if we have to do it bury it.
  • Shirley Newcomerabout 10 years ago Sunlakes AZ
    I'm a member of the club & who needs that ugly thing about to cross the trail......
  • Elijah Peakeabout 10 years ago Bryn Mawr PA
    The towers would cause a permanant solution to a very temporary problem. Aren't we trying to become more self sufficient as a nation and move towards more renewable resources? The last thing we need is to devistate our environment even more.
  • Melenie Blumabout 10 years ago Atkinson NH
    I don't want to see towers.... Bury the lines or don't do it at all. Why isn't the lines being buried all along the route? When I go on vacation I don't want to see my beautiful NH - the views - ruined by towers!
  • Kathy Ballasabout 10 years ago Concord NH
    The tall towers and lines will be less than 300 yards from my street in Concord. If approved the lines need to be buried.
  • Christine Greenabout 10 years ago Atkinson NH
    Bury the lines.
  • Kristine lessoabout 10 years ago dalton
    own property with power lines on it
  • Angela D'Onofrioabout 10 years ago Laconia NH
    Support local economies to create more jobs. Find alternative solutions through natural power. Think of the people and of the planet we live on before you think of your pocketbooks. This world needs us as much as we need it.
  • Jerry Dienerabout 10 years ago bethlehem NH
    right of way abuts my property; towers will be visible. Buzz of high tension lines will be heard at home. Health risks associated with living close to high tension lines. Transition to underground is in sight of route 302 and will impact tourism
  • Mariah Bellabout 10 years ago Keene NH
    The earth comes before everything.
  • Catherine Flynnabout 10 years ago Plymouth NH
    Before going to college at Plymouth State I lived and grew up in the North Country. I love NH and see how beautiful the state is in all four seasons and I do not want to see that beauty that is NH destroyed.
