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?

  • Scott Levasseurabout 11 years ago Laconia NH
    I go to the Whites to see the beauty not corporate greed.
  • Hank Dolbenabout 11 years ago Rye NH
    I love the White Mountains.
  • Scott MacFadenabout 11 years ago Rockland MA
    I am a fourth-generation property owner in the Lake Sunapee area who also spends considerable time in the White Mountains. I treasure the NH landscape, and wish to see it protected against harmful projects or initiatives.
  • Ann Craxtonabout 11 years ago Dalton NH
    Because many options other than the one proposed by Northern Pass protect our environment better for people and animals.
  • John Steinbach about 11 years ago Liverpool NY
    Wilderness despoiled is lost forever.
  • Deborah Avalone-Kingabout 11 years ago Brooks ME
    This is important to me because of the need to maintain natural habitat corridors in the northern forest. People like my family cherish the opportunity to explore natural undeveloped forests without encroachment by development.
  • maria alcindor about 11 years ago medford MA
    you will be mesing with my vacation home.
  • Cliff Raynorabout 11 years ago Centerport NY
    Because we need to keep NH the beautiful state that it has always been.
  • Sherrill Howardabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Feel that there are better options available. Do not see the benefits to NH long term at the expense of more valuable natural resources.
  • Brad Maltabout 11 years ago Peterborough MA
    Don't let power companies ruin our countryside!
  • Jesse Raifordabout 11 years ago Goldens Bridge NY
    Need to leave the White Mountains clear for future generations
  • Ursula Zieglerabout 11 years ago Concord MA
    I love the White Mountains and return all the time here to hike hike. Let's preserve this special region. Uninterrupted Wilderness is much too precious - and is becoming too rare today!
  • Jeffrey Lagasseabout 11 years ago Bartlett NH
    I purchased my home in NH primarily to enjoy the hiking and the pristine views. If I wanted to look at power lines, I would have just stayed in Connecticut.
  • Robert Blackistonabout 11 years ago Philadelphia PA
    Please don't further alter this beautiful planet!
  • Peter Brauchabout 11 years ago San Diego CA
    nature>humas
  • Jacqueline Smithabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    Because we need to keep NH the beautiful state that it is.
  • linda mcmillanabout 11 years ago lincoln MA
    This is important because it will completely destroy the pristine beauty of this region and the unique restorative feeling you get by being in a wilderness area.
  • Tom Simonabout 11 years ago Olean NY
    I fought logging in the Adirondacks. Technology exists to bury the cable.
  • Richard Dowabout 11 years ago Sanbornton NH
    Don't ruin the landscape and the historic views of NH for out of state power ! NO jobs ... Repeat NO JOBS will be longer than a year and the big major jobs are already bid out to out of state companies !!
  • Robert Personsabout 11 years ago Auburndale MA
    NU and HQ may think it will be easy to raise the Northern Pass lines because there's no one in the woods to notice. But those woods have been preserved for peaceful use by all, and NU/HQ should enhance this protection, not destroy it.
  • Charles Kollarabout 11 years ago Pittsburgh PA
    I enjoy hiking in New Hampshire. For the most part it's lovely and unspoiled high in the mountains.
  • Roger Stoneabout 11 years ago Winchester MA
    We need for all to "keep the beauty". There are better ways with technology and sound engineering!
  • Darren MacCaugheyabout 11 years ago Reading MA
    Make a less than perfect situation better by safely burying these lines and allowing the forest reclaim the scars made by man...
  • Thomas Frankabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    Major power transmission line through New England's most stunning mountain region? This is a no-brainer - NO
  • Tara mccueabout 11 years ago concord NH
    This is important because its raping our lands and we don't want it!!! Listen to your community!!!
