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?

  • Linda Kohnabout 11 years ago Bridgewater NH
    To preserve our most valuable asset in NH: our mountain vistas and ridge lines. PLEASE.
  • Meredith Johnsonabout 11 years ago North Kingstown RI
    Have property in NH. I hike and come to NH often. I really do not want to see the impact this would have on our beautiful mountains. Please preserve it for our children and grandchildren.
  • Donna Muirabout 11 years ago Belmont NH
    I believe that all the power lines for the Northern Pass Project should be underground!
  • Wesley Robertsonabout 11 years ago AMherst NH
    I just finished hiking the NH 4000' peaks, and I'd hate for something that will enrich so few affect the view. A project for the greater good, maybe, but a select few will profit from it. Let them also be the ones to food the bill to bury it.
  • DOUGLAS WARABAKabout 11 years ago Exeter PA
    For the enjoyment of future generations
  • Ruth H Axelrodabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    Our beautiful environment is our best resource for economic development, and will be even more popular as climate change progresses.

  • Elizabeth Blanchardabout 11 years ago Penacook NH
    Because they are going through neighborhoods and it's not safe to live next to powerlines! Also, they are a blight on the landscape!
  • Barbara Hooleyabout 11 years ago Tulsa OK
    Two of my friends and I are planning a two week hike on the AP this fall, specifically because of its incredible beauty. Please don't take away one of the worlds natural wonders and ruin the landscape by builiding ugly towers.
  • Peter Cassellabout 11 years ago Laconia NH
    Because there are other methods to run the cable, specifically underground in state-owned corridors. Our scenery is beautiful; let's keep it that way!
  • Kate Zebroseabout 11 years ago Bridgewater NH
    I want to preserve New Hampshire's scenic vistas.
  • Matthew Kwiatekabout 11 years ago Malden MA
    White Mountains should be protected. Bury the line
  • Paul Bonzaniabout 11 years ago manchester NH
    As a consumer of the natural beauty of our wonderful state I will fight to preserve that beauty. Please force this company to bury these lines so that beauty can be preserved. Thank you Paul Bonzani..
  • Stephania Pearceabout 11 years ago Alton NH
    The landscape is already under stress. Why give more of it away.
  • Floyd Sternerabout 11 years ago Gilford NH
    No towers in scenic areas.
  • Elizabeth Titusabout 11 years ago Arlington MA
    I am a summer resident of NH. The forests of NH are among the state's special and valuable assets. I encourage you not to compromise them and their value to the state.
  • James Foleyabout 11 years ago Lincoln NH
    I believe it will be to the detriment of our recreation business which is critical to our economy!
  • Judy Leoniabout 11 years ago Weare NH
    The white mountains are our most treasured landscape...don't destroy it please!
  • Wayne Goertelabout 11 years ago Hooksett NH
    Northern Pass proposes stringing up a giant extension cord across New Hampshire, disregarding its scenic landscapes, quality of life, property values, and tourist industry. Giant towers above the forest canopy would be an ugly scar across our state.
  • Joan McKibbenabout 11 years ago Litchfield NH
    The beauty of NH and the App. Trail are important to me.
  • Janet Lucasabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    My time in NH is precious to me.. I should be greatly saddened to see its inherent beauty sacrificed when alternatives are available. We need to be thinking about the legacy we leave to our children and their children.
  • Diana Danielsabout 11 years ago Greenville NH
    I have signed this for my grandchildren, great grandchildren and everyone's children.
