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?

  • Tina Owensabout 11 years ago Sandown NH
    Northern Pass marketing is a farce! This is NOT for energy needs in NH but you never hear that in their ads. STOP this nonsense and protect our state and it's beauty
  • Mary Kahnabout 11 years ago Merdith NH
    I seek to uphold the constitutional prohibition against the taking of private property by closing a loophole in the eminent domain statute against any private development.
  • Deborah Sargentabout 11 years ago Pittsburg NH
    I love NH, northern would give zero benefits to our beautiful state.
  • Cathy La Forgeabout 11 years ago Deerfield NH
    Northern Pass as planned will ruin one our NH's main revenue streams - tourism. NH and it's businesses can't afford for NP to ruin the State's biggest asset, unique heritage and natural resource.
  • luann allardabout 11 years ago kingston NH

  • palma adjutantpo about 11 years ago union NH

  • mark przekuratabout 11 years ago weare NH
    We only have one environment..... spend the money on solar.
  • Kevin Quinn about 11 years ago Thornton NH
    We love the views and see no need to destroy them with the towers given alternatives that exist.
  • Joyce Hyreabout 11 years ago Raymond NH
    Please do not allow our beautiful great North Woods to be destroyed ... The tourists bring income. Live free do not fry us.. Thank you for listening..joyce
  • susan decourcyabout 11 years ago brentwood NH
    so much depends on our forests..we must preserve them.
  • Debra Marcotteabout 11 years ago milton NH
    We need our forests and so do the animals!
  • Keith Bronsonabout 11 years ago Groveton NH
    This abomination would go by the front of my house.
  • Katie Geissingerabout 11 years ago New York NY
    These areas were originally protected for a reason: to save the natural beauty of this area for all future generations. That reason has not gone away.
  • Jim Nacchiaabout 11 years ago Wilmington DE
    This is my second home, and the natural beauty is why I chose it.
  • Norman Cadyabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    To keep NH free from towers built to bring power to other states. It's there problem not ours. We shouldn't suffer the ruin they will leave behind. Bury or nothing.
  • Maureen Callahanabout 11 years ago Hollis NH
    Once it's done, there is no going back. Yes, we need electricity options in this area. No, it does not NEED to go overhead. Bury the Northern Pass or find a route that avoids the White Mountains.
  • Dawn Blassabout 11 years ago Torrington CT
    New Hampshire is our families favorite place to vacation, we feel it's a magical place! We would love to live there someday, so plzzzzz don't spoil it... Ct is unfortunately spoiled in many places.
  • Robert Sicardabout 11 years ago Claremont NH
    We pay a "view" tax! Rather pay this, and keep the VIEW.
  • Richard Greeneabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    Work on conserving energy not producing more.
  • Andrea Arnsteinabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    I have been witnessing the woods and forest lands rapidly disappear. I have felt helpless to save our natural resources from being destroyed for profits. If this helps save some of our natural land then I will be proud to have helped do so.
  • David Ripleyabout 11 years ago Methuen MA
    Preserve the natural beauty of the White Mountains! Please bury the lines
  • Ginny Freudenbergerabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    I moved here for the beauty. I do not want to lose that.
  • John Creaghabout 11 years ago Hanover NH
    I'd like to see the technology developed to bury power lines and someday, do away with them entirely.
  • Amika Kemmler-Ernstabout 11 years ago Boston MA
    Keep NH green!
