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?

  • Vicki Nolleyabout 11 years ago Pilot Point TX
    Every summer my family would come to New Hampshire for summer vacation. I have wonderful memories of the time spent there. The views are breath taking and I love it there. It would be a travesty to destroy natures true beauty. Please don't do it!!!!
  • Robert Owensabout 11 years ago Henniker NH
    I hike the Whites and love them the way they are ! Hands off !
  • Kim Newshamabout 11 years ago Paxont MA
    I have been visiting the White Mountains since I was a child.The landscape of the White Mountains would change if the Northern pass goes through. There are plenty of other resources that can be utilized such as wind and solar power.
  • Cynthia Melendyabout 11 years ago North ConwY NH
    The mountains are more important than money!
  • Sarah Jansonabout 11 years ago Bolton MA
    We can not allow the Northern Pass to destroy the beauty of New Hampshire. Any benefits of this project are far outweighed by the negatives!

  • Donna Savoryabout 11 years ago Lincoln NH
    Because I live in the White Mountains and I do not want my view ruined. We need to leave these areas pristine and beautiful. Either Stop or bury

  • John Davisabout 11 years ago Fairfax VA
    I write this note after hiking down from the summit of your Mt Lafayette, with its beautiful views in all directions. The hike is the highlight of our annual visit to New Hampshire. I agree with many others: bury it, or abandon it.
  • Tim O'Mearaabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    I like the beauty of New Hampshire.
  • Thomas crockerabout 11 years ago woodsville NH
    because we would be destroying wildlife and animals homes if we go through with Northern Pass
  • Karrie Kalichabout 11 years ago Keene NH
    To preserve the natural beauty of our fine state. Once it is done, it can never be undone and our state will never be the same.
  • Brian Larsonabout 11 years ago Berlin NH
    Environmental, not good for NH economy

  • william darcyabout 11 years ago asheville NC
    Now that i'm a tourist to NH (formerly a 20 year resident), I choose where to spend my vacation time. these excessive towers thru NH's most beautiful places discourage me to visit NH.
  • Sheila Welchabout 11 years ago Exeter NH
    With all the expenses users are asked to bear to increase green energy, we and the suppliers certainly can afford the cost of burying transmission lines through ecologically and scenically important areas.
  • FRED SCHNEIDERabout 11 years ago BRIDGEWATER NH
    NEW HAMPSHIRE ONLY HAS ONE THING GOING FOR IT: ITS NATURAL BEAUTY!!!!!!!!
