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?

  • Kent Johnsonabout 11 years ago Long Pond PA
    I vacation in New Hampshire all the time and hike the trails for the pristine vistas. In Pennsylvania the National Park Service has allowed a new powerline to cross the Delaware Water Gap Park and has destroyed the views and killed many birds.
  • James Careyabout 11 years ago Centerville MA
    In the fall , winter and spring I hike and camp all over the Whites. I enjoy the tranquility and inspiring views and don't want them ruined. THey can spend a little more and bury these lines
  • Jo Ann Colellaabout 11 years ago coventry RI
    family spends multiple days vacationing in NH to enjoy the unspoiled environment
  • Alexa Sheltonabout 11 years ago Gales ferry CT
    We love the mountains just the way they are!
  • Michael Fialkieviczabout 11 years ago Columbia CT
    Man needs to learn that it is necessary to leave some undisturbed tracts for nature
  • Gerald Reidabout 11 years ago Wallingford CT
    I want to preserve the beauty of the great state of NH for future generations.
  • Frances Avrinabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    The impact on the natural resources and beauty will be profound & devastating effecting not just NH residents but all those who love and visit the area. This is not a clean energy solution. Focus must be on cleaner smarter energy solutions.
  • Robert Delisaabout 11 years ago Marshfield MA
    Visually, this will be devastating! Environmentally, we need to focus on solar and wind! Why waste all of this steel to create a monstrosity when there are far better alternatives? Why destroy the natural resources?
  • Margie Lindsleyabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    I live at McKennas Purchase and the towers would be in our back yards and very close to some decks. This would ruin our beautiful area here, disturb the wildlife and lower our property values.
  • Gary Richardsabout 11 years ago Auburn ME
    I have lived in Maine and NH my entire adult life. Our natural resources are being threatened on many fronts. Please find a different and better way.
  • Ron Bartonabout 11 years ago HAVERHILL MA
    Don't spoil the natuarl beauty
  • Chris Troutnerabout 11 years ago Anacortes WA
    Conservationists that I know and trust support this cause.
  • Patricia Sullivanabout 11 years ago Garnerville NY
    Nature is very healing.
  • Teresa Stimpfelabout 11 years ago Robbinsville NJ
    New Hampshire is a treasure we infrequently enjoy. As my boyfriend faces a terminal illness, we want to return. Do not destroy the wild beauty of this state for the sake of profit or an energy plan. Preserve this treasure for future generations
  • Tamara Mannabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    I live 1 mile from where Northern Pass will traverse the land. I am already a cancer survivor. I believe that if Northern pass is not buried, NH will lose it's tourism. Please, this is not a difficult request. Preserve the land, bury the cables.
  • David Bivans about 11 years ago Starks ME
    I am Lakota; this land has been my people's for thousand's of years
  • Jim curtisabout 11 years ago Bridgton ME
    Because the beauty of this region must be preserved for all time
  • John Serfassabout 11 years ago Hawley PA
    1. We should be reducing use of electricity, not creating new grids to increase use. 2. We have a new transmission line thru our town and it is obscenely huge and ugly. 3. The White Mts of NH have a unique history and heritage.
  • Paul Suscaabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    New Hampshire is beautiful and would be much less so with the proposed towers.
  • Shiann Lopezabout 11 years ago Gardner MA
    This is one of the few areas enjoyed in New England that should remain undisturbed.
  • Joseph Holmesabout 11 years ago Acton MA
    I have seen what happens when a Hydro-Quebec power line is put through on the horizon. I suggest either following existing power right of ways, or the underground solution. Also, there is not an infinite supply of Hydro-Quebec power.
  • David Ainleyabout 11 years ago Perkinsville VT
    I want the northern forest to stay that way. NOT STRIP MALLS.
  • Michael cataldoabout 11 years ago leominster MA
    I hike here. The land is astonishing, astounding, surprising, stunning,and beautiful.
  • Keith Wrightabout 11 years ago New Fairfield CT
    I go to New Hampshire for the Mountains and the trails over them and the view is very important. A view of all that is natural - not some ugly manmade power line towers!
  • Janice Serfassabout 11 years ago Hawley PA
    People travel to NH to see the beautiful scenery and experience the majestic mountains…not to see transmission lines.
