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?

  • Sarah Schmidtabout 11 years ago Jamaica Palin MA
    I moved to the northeast from Texas and I love the remote feeling of the wilderness of the White Mtns. I have hiked and climbed there many times. I don't want the wilderness to change.

    I have spent many happy days hiking in the White Mountains and treasure being far from signs of civilization.
  • Mary Bearorabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    In this hectic world, we need quiet, clean places in which to ease our minds and souls. Metal towers do not provide that. Let MA and CT set up wind turbines if they need power. NH does not.
  • Kathleen MacKayabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    I moved up here to NH for the outdoors and the views are a significant part of outdoor enjoyment.
  • Andrew Algerabout 11 years ago Rumney NH
    The blight and permanent destruction of Many beautiful NH vistas due to wind farms is clear evidence of what Northern Pass will due on a much larger scale. They should also be controlled..
