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?

  • David Eddyabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    Our scenery is one of the defining characteristics of our state. Bury it or forget it.
  • Paul Chamberlandabout 11 years ago Québec
    Il y a 35 ans, je marchais dans les montagnes blanches (White Mountains). C'est là que mon gôut de la nature et du plein-air a pris naissance. C'est primordial de conserver et préserver les "Whitte Mountains" dans leur état d'origine.
  • steve paoneabout 11 years ago wilmington MA
    This is too beautiful to lose.
  • Marcia Trippabout 11 years ago Francestown NH
    Beauty, tourism, never getting it back once it is gone..please!
  • robert adkissonabout 11 years ago norfolk VA
    I love to camp and canoe in N. Hampshire, and do so about once a year, usually for about a week at a time. I'd hate to see such an unnecessary and obtrusive thing as these power lines cutting a huge and ugly swath across your beautiful state.
  • John Petrofskyabout 11 years ago Stewartstown VA
    The long-term future of the north country depends on tourism. Northern Pass undermines the most promising element of the region's economy.
  • Marie Nardinoabout 11 years ago Andover NH
    It's obvious. The initial additional cost to the power company to bury the lines is fleeting and recoverable. The destructive cost to New Hampshire's outdoor beauty will be permanent and irreversible.
  • Dik Dagavarianabout 11 years ago Bow NH
    Because the impact from a Northern Pass project with hundreds of towers would cause irreparable harm to the beauty of NH and its tourist industry in NH. If the energy need is so great, then bury it.
  • Kevin Carsonabout 11 years ago Johnston RI
    I spend many days near Franconia every year. It is one of my favorite places on earth. I would be sickened by the impact of Northern Pass.
  • Katherine Reddochabout 11 years ago Medford MA
    The White Mountains are a very special place to me, my husband and our friends & families. We don't want to see them spoiled with transmission lines. Thank you for your help!
  • Patricia Mackabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    NH is known for its beauty and we should do our very best to maintain it.
  • Maryann Szabadicsabout 11 years ago Bridgewater NH
    Because there are alternatives to destroying our beautiful state.
  • Ellen Goldsberryabout 11 years ago Weare NH
    We need to preserve the beauty of our state and protect its natural resources. We need to protect outdoor tourism.
  • Lawrene Cohenabout 11 years ago South Easton MA
    Having hiked Us Natl Parks Canda, Nepal I still find the White Mtns to be a unique treasure. We owe it to our children to pass along this gem in its unaltered natural state.
  • Leo Leo R. Sandyabout 11 years ago Chesterfield NH
    NH has many pristine areas that need to be preserved for future generations. We need less electric power and more conservation of the power we have, as well as alternative energy sources
  • Joe Wilkasabout 11 years ago Bridgewater NH
    Since NH already generates 2X the power it uses, and acceptable alternatives are available, there is absolutely no need to sacrifice NH's irreplaceable scenery and significant tourist industry for giant powerlines benefiting others.
  • Randy Mooreabout 11 years ago Beaver PA
    This is important to me because I would like to visit NH and explore it's amazing landscape.
  • fanny whitmanabout 11 years ago plymouth NH
    people and our land over corporations and money
  • Lance Emrickabout 11 years ago Wentworth NH
    To stop or acceptably change the Northern Pass project to protect NH nature, beauty, and important outdoor tourist industry.
  • Michel Duprasabout 11 years ago Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada NH
    With all the development in evey direction and in every theme, we need to keep intact land and spaces where man does not interfer, mostly rare and big surface of nature representing biology and forestery in the 2000 years
  • Elizabeth Brownabout 11 years ago Marblehead MA
    I am a conservationist and hiker, and this is a NATIONAL FOREST that should be protected.
  • Fran and Rick Towerabout 11 years ago Middleton MA
    We snowmobile up thru there and it take away from the sites
  • Joyce Dvorakabout 11 years ago Lexington MA
    Our family spends a great deal of time in the beautiful White Mountains. This project, constructed above ground, will ruin much of the landscape and likely the tourism that provides income to the north. Find a way to protect both of those interests.
  • Michael Carterabout 11 years ago Paris, France
    If Northern Pass does not agree to bury power lines, it should be stopped. I am a member of the AMC and a frequent visitor to the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
  • melbern &virginia Trueabout 11 years ago E. Derry NH
    We own land in Wentworth, NH and will be affected if Northern Pass is built above ground. We prefer to look at tress other than 200 ft towers.
