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?

  • Geri Chmielabout 11 years ago Wrightstown NJ
    conservation, preservation
  • Dennis Calcuttabout 11 years ago Francestown NH
    Because this type of process needs to be managed properly and all voices need to be heard and considered.
  • Mary Ann Rayabout 11 years ago Easton MD
    I would like the beauty of this land in New Hampshire preserved for my children and grandchildren so they can experience what I had the joy of seeing in my lifetime.
  • James Chesebroughabout 11 years ago North Woodstock, NH NH
    Insist that Northeast Utilities and Hydro-Quebec not use our state to insure financial gains for outsiders.
  • Janice Frenchabout 11 years ago Santa Monica CA
    I was raised in NH, spent the first 28 years of my life, loving the countryside, hiking and picnicking in the white mountains. We do not need to build this as unsightly towers; there are alternatives!
  • Seth Hagerabout 11 years ago Londonderry NH
    I want to NH to stay green.
  • Melanie Melanie Fiskabout 11 years ago Rumney NH
    I have chosen to live, work and play in NH since 1985. For me, "Live Free or Die" means living free of corporate rule and foreign energy dependence as well as the freedom to continue to enjoy the beauty of our state.
  • Ellen Gurwitzabout 11 years ago Shelburne VT
    This power line would be visually damaging, environmentally destructive and is unnecessary. The proposed technology is outdated.
  • Nicole Millerabout 11 years ago Rutherford NJ
    Trips to NH are important times away from the daily stresses of life in Suburban NJ. I look forward to week long trips to the White Mountains to be surround by trees and natures natural beauty!
  • shamu sadehabout 11 years ago Falls Village CT
    So important to the ecological integrity and recreation of the whole region!
  • David Lauridsenabout 11 years ago Stanhope NJ
    I travel to NH to hike the white mountains frequently. It would be a shame to see this beautiful place scarred by new power lines. Let's keep this place beautiful for future generations.
  • Christopher Garlandabout 11 years ago Volcano HI
    I grew up hiking & camping in the White Mountains and even went to college for a time in a defunct school in Franconia, HH. Spent many days cruising the area.
  • marie mutzabout 11 years ago New York NY
    nature and the environment need protection
  • Shay Collazoabout 11 years ago Nutley NJ
    The northeast is my home and some of the last beautiful barely touched country. It is irreplaceable and many people have nowhere else to go. There are better options for energy than te easy way out. America can produce plenty of its own energy.
  • Brad caronabout 11 years ago Chaplin CT
    I'm retiring to the white mountains and I don't want this to ruin the views
  • Evan Newellabout 11 years ago Dedham MA
    We hike the White Mountains 8-10 times/year, bringing revenue for NH restaurants, inns, retailers, and other businesses. To mar this beautiful landscape when there is a win-win solution is shortsighted.
  • Lizabeth Rossnerabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    The White Mou tains shouln't become a bystander to a giant conduit for southern New England. It will harm our natural beauty, tourism economy...and no benefit to the NH economy, except short term minor construction jobs.
  • jan beardsley-blancoabout 11 years ago new london NH
    it benefits not one resident of our beautiful state
  • Darrell Cherniskeabout 11 years ago Kent CT
    We have a cabin in Pittsburg which we vacation at to enjoy the unspoiled North Country.
  • Harvey Kaplinabout 11 years ago Charlestown RI
    I have hiked the White Mtns many times and do not want to see this national forest defaced any more.
  • Ruth Sigvardsonabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    Our state is so beautiful. Why spoil it with towers that are hazardous to your health!
  • Craig Winansabout 11 years ago Ellington CT
    I would like to perserve the wilderness and its trails with the natural beauty
  • Ellenjoy Fieldsabout 11 years ago jamaica plain MA
    I love hiking in these woods! Don't mar our views.
  • Leona Gawronabout 11 years ago Hershey PA
    We need to preserve pristine areas for the generations to come.
  • John Turnerabout 11 years ago Cambridge MA
    I want my newborn son to see the wilderness I saw when I was just a boy.
