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?

  • Elizabeth Warderabout 11 years ago Orange MA
    This will be detrimental to the economy of NH, especially since the state depends so highly on tourist dollars.
  • Lucy W. Scanlonabout 11 years ago Cambridge MA
    Because of its breath taking away, calming beauty.
  • Gordon Souleabout 11 years ago Stockbridge MA
    It is important to protect the wild and natural spaces we have left. Now is the time to decrease our consumption not increase.
  • Mark Gamellabout 11 years ago Port Washington NY
    We need to find a way to bring dependable power to these areas in my favorite state of NH without destroying any part of what makes it the place where all the country can bring their families to learn to love and be in awe of nature.
  • harriet forkeyabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    we do not need northern pass but we do need a beautiful, pristine north country for all to cherish and enjoy!
  • Tracey Pfisterabout 11 years ago Marblehead MA
    So many wonderful memories of hiking in NH, and now my kids are enjoying it too. Don't let our heritage slip away.
  • Margaret Zimmerabout 11 years ago Lima NY
    We need to keep our treasured natural areas from "needs"that we have come to depend on so much. I need to spend time In these areas of the forests to refresh my spirit and Renew myself to carry on my work as an oncology nurse caring for cancer patients.
  • Jill Tarziaabout 11 years ago Kittery ME
    Please keep the natural scenic beauty of the outdoors unscarred by the northern pass. We are lucky to have such a vast amount of undeveloped land with spectacular views. Let's keep it that way.
  • craig rothfussabout 11 years ago wanamassa NJ
    I'm tired of the Money Machine raping our Earth
  • Matthew Lynchabout 11 years ago Derry NH
    The White Mountains are New Hampshire's main attraction. There is NO reason to destroy the beautiful scenery for a project that is not necessary and will not be used to reduce NH residents electric bills. BURY THE LINES OR STOP THE PROJECT!
  • Jennifer Laingabout 11 years ago Torrington CT
    Lets get smart like Europe and start burying power lines
  • Matthew Waiteabout 11 years ago Center Valley PA
    Even though I live in Pennsylvania, I frequent New Hampshire because of the beauty of the natural landscape. There are other places I could go. The proposed steel lattice and H-frame towers are, in a word, ugly, and would factor into my choices.
  • Peter Pirnieabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Bury the lines or don.t allow a routing through our state Gov. Thank You
  • Margaret Parisiabout 11 years ago Lincoln MA
    It is so important to preserve our natural vistas. There MUST be an alternative.
  • James Gregoireabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    This beautiful state would be visually harmed forever if Northern Pass as presently proposed were permitted. It would be immoral to degrade the God-given natural beauty of NH.
  • Frank Engleyabout 11 years ago Columbia MO
    I hike in the Whites in the summer and this would be an unnecessary eyesore. There are other options.
  • Rodny Richeyabout 11 years ago Milford NH
    Northern Pass power lines would be an unnecessary intrusion on the natural beauty of the White Mountains.
  • Cyndi Hebertabout 11 years ago plymouth MA
    I am originally from NH and hike up there all the time . It is the most beautiful place in the U S
  • Michael Whiteabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Atlas Shrugged .Need I say more
  • David Parkmanabout 11 years ago Bloomfield CT
    I have hiked all over for more than 50 years and want to be sure to preserve this natural experience for generations.
  • Andy Baer Andyabout 11 years ago Cambridge MA
    The letter says it all.
  • Dee Dunbar-Hambuckenabout 11 years ago Lee NH
    It will destroy the lovely views of the mountains that we are fortunate to have. We need to protect the beauty of nature.
  • James Crosbyabout 11 years ago Coventry RI
    My family goes hiking in the White Mountains every summer and the escape to nature would never be the same if the northern pass were permitted.
  • Ann Weberabout 11 years ago Portland ME
    To keep the White Mts unspoiled.
  • Jerrold jkuntzabout 11 years ago Warwick NY
    Camp and hike every summer in NH for past 30 years
