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?

  • Ralph Kaddenabout 11 years ago West Hartford CT
    I love the trail and I love the beauty of nature
  • Joanne Magnanabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    It is not needed. It is being forced through by people who are looking to personally profit financially.
  • Laurie McLaughlinabout 11 years ago Wolfeboro Falls NH
    For the future of my children lets find a better way.
  • Janice Greene Longabout 11 years ago Milton NH
    The preservation of wild areas is vital to our state for reasons of survival for wildlife as well as ourselves. Without their natural beauty and spirit lifting vistas who would want to spend time in our magnificent state?
  • Karen Payneabout 11 years ago Effingham NH
    New Hampshire's wilderness is our source of livelihood and renewal.
  • David & Kathryn Mannethoabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    We must take a stand now or risk becoming known as the state that will sell itself if the price is right.
  • Paul Fitzgeraldabout 11 years ago Bristol NH
    it's will destroy to beauty and environment and it's un-healthy
  • Deborra Doscherabout 11 years ago Weare NH
    We need renewable energy but not at the expense of our natural landscapes.
  • Timothy Cowlesabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    I wish to preserve the natural beauty of our state.
  • Kathlyn Boxabout 11 years ago New Durham NH
    We must preserve the natural beauty and wild areas for ourselves and the future generations to enjoy. Once scared we will never get it back.
  • Gerard Perryabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    Please keep NH beautiful by defeating Northern Pass!
  • James Finnabout 11 years ago Windham NH
    We need to preserve the beauty of this small, but spectacular state
  • Dan Cushabout 11 years ago Aspinwall PA
    Preserve. Protect. Sustain our natural resources.
  • Tracy Shepardabout 11 years ago Dalton NH
    Our beautiful landscape is what brings people here. We need to protect this for ourselves, our children and visitors.
  • Jodi Rhodesabout 11 years ago Tolland CT
    The White Mountains are my home.
  • Matt Corsaroabout 11 years ago Hurley NY
    I drive many hours to the White Mountains, for one reason-to hike and enjoy the amazing vistas and natural beauty. Things that mar this make it less likely that I will continue to drive all that way (and spend money there) throughout my life.
  • Angela Scireabout 11 years ago Alton NH
    The WMs are an escape from the stresses of modern life and reminders of such, like power lines. Why have above ground power lines if they can be buried? I lived in NY for Sandy...underground lines would avoid costly and lengthy repairs after every storm!
  • John Mottshawabout 11 years ago Foster RI
    If larger transmission lines are allowed; then how long befor additional roads, services, and and maintainence buildings erected. I see this upgrade as an encroachment in our wilderness areas.
  • Ashley Merchantabout 11 years ago Manchester NH
    We need to save the mountains trees and wildlife
  • Lynn Flayhartabout 11 years ago Bristol NH
    We must be responsible stewards and it is critical to preserve our natural resources and beauty!
  • Ben Lewisabout 11 years ago Lyndonville VT
    Don't destroy our playhouse
  • Paul Clarkabout 11 years ago Bow NH
    Our state would be forever scarred by rust bucket towers. Put it underground.
  • Alison Lathropabout 11 years ago Lyndonville VT
    This natural area is unique in the East. It is fragile, ecologically and economically. The unspoiled view and unfragmented forest is a major part of this area's value. Can't we act with foresight for once? Please stand your ground and say no.
  • Dr. Sue Ann Sidell (DC, CAC)about 11 years ago Gorham NH
    DEAR NORTHERN PASS: If you won't bury it, then SHOVE IT.
  • Patrick Turekabout 11 years ago Southington CT
    Hiking, views, nature, protect environment, wildlife, vacation
