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,

    To install towers in the White Mountains would be a disgrace to mother nature.

    Because once the natural beauty is gone, it's gone for good.
  • Carina Parkabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    The Northern Pass is proposed to go right through the heart of our backyard. This rural area would be devastated by such an impact. The disadvantages this project brings surely outweighs the advantages.
  • Jon Walshabout 11 years ago Brookline MA
    Don't destroy the pristine outdoor destination. Bury the wires along Rt.93 or don't do it.

  • Mike Russoabout 11 years ago Nottingham NH
    Technology exists to bury the lines and produce zero impact to the skyline. People before profits!
  • Jo Beth Dudleyabout 11 years ago Dalton NH
    The White Mountains and other lovely areas of beautiful New Hampshire should not have a large, intrusive high capacity electric line marring the natural beauty of the region.

    It would take away from NH's natural beauty! Plus, it will not benefit NH at all! Bury the lines or do not do the project.
