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?

  • Deborah Stohnabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    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.
  • Timothy Mooreabout 11 years ago Center Harbor NH
    Preserving the natural beauty of NH
  • nancy spencer smithabout 11 years ago Sanbornville 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 11 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!!!!!!
  • Linda Eisenhartabout 11 years ago North Woodstock NH
    This is blighting NH with no long term benefit to NH and IT COULD BE BURIED ENTIRELY - and be safer!
  • Sharry Bakerabout 11 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.
  • Eleanor Thompsonabout 11 years ago Newport NH
    We are stewards of our land and need to save it all for our children and grandchildren. This is important!
  • nan Welchabout 11 years ago CONCORD NH
    not the way we should be leaving our state for our grandchildren
  • Ed Mellettabout 11 years ago Groveton NH
    We have lost too much land that will not be managed for timber production. This will dramatically change our landscape. It can be buried.
  • William Fraserabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    Very
  • Mark Winerabout 11 years ago Westford VT
    Board member of the Poore Family Foundation NCC in Stewartstown lived there in 1973-1984 Love this country
  • Lyn O'Callaghanabout 11 years ago New Hampton NH
    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.
  • Ron O'Callaghanabout 11 years ago New Hampton NH
    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.
  • Arthur Chicaderisabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    Bury the lines to preserve NH"s beauty for this and future generations.
  • Melissa Traberabout 11 years ago New Hampton NH
    The environmental and economic cost are too high for overhead lines. Bury the lines or no deal.
  • Charles Johnsonabout 11 years ago Sacramento CA
    Native Granite Stater, graduate of UNH. third generation tree farmer in Northwood, NH
  • David Bakerabout 11 years ago West Hartford CT
    We love the North Country, specifically hiking in Columbia, Dixville Notch, Pittsburg, etc. These power lines would destroy the beauty that is New Hampshire.
  • Mary Sloatabout 11 years ago Hanover NH
    The towers will be if full view of out old home and its spectacular views.
  • William Gessnerabout 11 years ago Whitefield NH
    Wilderness is our gift to future generations.
  • Leslie Tuchapskyabout 11 years ago Coventry RI
    It would be a blight on the landscape.
  • Nancy F. Hughesabout 11 years ago LIttleton NH
    For my children, and their children, and their children, and their children...
  • Natalie Kellerabout 11 years ago Stratford NH
    There is no reason not to bury transmission line. Wilderness lost is never recovered.
  • Robin Reynoldsabout 11 years ago Manchester, nh NH
    It will evicerate the NH landscape, tourism, economy and offers only temp construction jobs.
  • Cindy Zylkuski Norrisabout 11 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 11 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
