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 Greeneabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    I want to preserve the wild, natural beauty of New Hampshire for my daughters to enjoy!
  • Lisa Strempferabout 11 years ago Bow NH
    The north country should remain serene.
  • Susan Meeker-Lowryabout 11 years ago Fryeburg ME
    I grew up in NH & spent a lot of time up north. It will destroy the local economy, & wildlife; infringing on territory, migration routes. This is not going to benefit NH people, it will only benefit Hydro-Quebec and the power companies.
  • Judith Gosselinabout 11 years ago Stewartstown NH
    Not necessary
  • Marie Guyabout 11 years ago Wentworth NH
    With my dying breathe... I will not support, and will actively oppose, the Northern Pass if it is not BURIED UNDERGROUND! I will watch all politician's vote on this issue and take action to stop reelections or elections of those who vote for it!
  • Franklin Plattabout 11 years ago Stark NH
    If not all buried, this will hurt the regional economy, cost jobs, and actually increase property taxes. It is also a huge waste of energy, perhaps 25% - 35% of all the power transmitted by DC will be lost as heat, possibly affecting our climate.
  • William Quimbyabout 11 years ago Kensington NH
    There is a reason why we call it the Great North Woods. Leave it alone. Money can not replace it.
  • Rebecca Dorranceabout 11 years ago LONDONDERRY NH
    My mother and Father live up north and want to enjoy their retirement with out huge towers coming through there land. Plus, with the tower i would be nervous for their health
  • lindsay chaseabout 11 years ago Webster NH
    It'll ruin the beauty of our state!
  • Ken Hamiltonabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    I make my living shooting landscapes and this will ruin the white mountains!
  • caryl braleyabout 11 years ago alexandria NH
    Powerlines leave ugly scars across our otherwise beautiful state.
  • Louis Abduabout 11 years ago New Hampton NH
    Because I live here!
  • Jane O'Tooleabout 11 years ago Wolfeboro NH
    To perserve the beauty of our state for future generations, for us now and for the many who come visit us to marvel in it. Bury the lines or get out.
  • Wayne Parkhurstabout 11 years ago Kingston NH
    First, because I own property in northern NH and do not want to look at more elec. towers. Second, I think it's a VERY bad idea letting a foreign government owned utility to acquire land rights in the US
  • Margo Dearbhailabout 11 years ago Warren NH
    It's the right thing to do..
  • Susan Sambitoabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    NP wants to perpetrate a greedy corporate blight on the landscape
  • Deanna Landryabout 11 years ago Dover NH
    I don't want to see my gorgeous state destroyed.
  • ron robareabout 11 years ago concord NH
    spoil our beauty, spoil our income
  • Jeff Hebdaabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Northern pass will be an eyesore against our beautiful landscape of mountains. Northern pass wont benifit n.h.
  • Robert Giudaabout 11 years ago Warren NH
    The North County economy is in tatters, and tourism - including ecotourism is one of the few options that could provide an increase in employment. Do not despoil our landscape with towers or other scars. Bury the lines along existing traffic corridors.
  • Lois Fossabout 11 years ago Gilmanton NH
    I love my state of NH and do not want it destroyed with ugly towers.
  • Don Geroabout 11 years ago Goffstown NH
    Love this land.
  • Debbye Debbye Tardiffabout 11 years ago Pembroke NH
    will destroy our beautiful landscape!
  • Betty Audetteabout 11 years ago Richmond NH
    There is nothing attractive about power lines. It is the rugged natural beauty and long time residents of this state that make it special. We need to learn from past mistakes and not rush into plans that negatively affect the quality and beauty of life.
  • David Plachetzkiabout 11 years ago Benton NH
    No jobs, bad view, not necessary. Greedy company needs to bury them. Communistic approach towards land. This is the USA. Not Canada. Stay there with your power lines........
