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.
Don't destroy something that is so beautiful and full of nature. We love going to the white Mts. Stand up and either bury the line or forget about!!!!!

Save our beautiful landscape

Please do now allow NH's beauty to be scarred permanently for a few percentage points of profit for an outside company.
Sylvia Sleeperabout 12 years ago Concord NH
I don't want to see towers in our North Country; the vista should remain unblemished.

We cannot let greed and the greedy destroy our beautiful state .No gtowers, no new routes! If Canada wishes to destrot its land and many of its people we cannot forvce changes here, but we can proteact our land and its people.

The natural beauty of the White Mountains is what draws people to NH. Don't mar the vista! Bury the line!
Scott Lavoiceabout 12 years ago Farmington NH
I hike the white mountains all the time.

The natural beauty of New Hampshire's wilderness is something my family cherishes! Please preserve what is most precious about the state of New Hampshire-- for all those who live there, and all those who chose to frequently visit this beautiful state!
Wendy Doranabout 12 years ago Lexington MA
Canada and the US have absolutely no right to destroy NH for their own personal greed. Through the towers up in snotty Conn
Karl Wendelowskiabout 12 years ago Sharon NH
New Hampshire is a unique and beautiful place and should not have this scar on its beauty. Furthermore, in the long run burying will be more economical with much lower maintenance expense.

DON'T NEED TO MAKE NEW PATH USE THE ONE THAT IN NOW THERE!

Since when did Mother Nature in ALL her glory-season after season-cease to be important, Governor Hassan? Please think before you answer. Thank You

NH has some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. It shouldn't be marred by lines that could be buried.Northern NH especially relies on tourism for many jobs and we need to preserve and encourage responsible multi use for our forests and mountains.
Cynthia Belowskiabout 12 years ago Fernandina Beach FL
NH is my home and I do not want to see the beautiful White Mountain views marred by transmission lines -- especially when there is an alternative!
James Timminsabout 12 years ago Loudon NH
Not only will New Hampshire's scenic beauty be impacted, but why should we finance Canada's destruction of many more Atlantic Salmon rivers. with dams and hydro impoundments? These rivers are so important to the resource.
Kerry Chandlerabout 12 years ago Milford NH
The overall beauty of the whole scene.
Alex Barunasabout 12 years ago Gilford NH
New Hampshire has some of the most beautiful scenery in the US - it's our responsibility to keep it pristine for future generations to enjoy. Opening up for NP sets a dangerous precedent for those who would exploit NH for their own future profit.
GRACE MOULDERabout 12 years ago EAST NORTHPORT NY
TO PROTECT THE BEAUTY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE WILD LIFE FROM COPORATE GREED. I WOULD NEVER CAMP IN THIS BEAUTIFUL STATE AGAIN IF THIE NORTHERN PASS GOES THROUGH. PLAN ON PASSING THE WORD TO OUR OTHER FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
Ann Carmanabout 12 years ago South Portland, ME
It's simple! We want to preserve the wonderful beauty of the state, without the risk of harmful pollution from pipes that will definitely leak or break at some point.
Anton Andersenabout 12 years ago Durham NH
I don't want the forests to look bad for me and all the people in the future
Susan Doweabout 12 years ago Whitefield NH
the ruination of primal habitats! No
Wendy Whiteabout 12 years ago West Ossipee NH
Governor - The lines should either be buried or the project stopped. The thought of the Northern Pass transmission lines is obscene.
Selden Hannahabout 12 years ago Rochester NH
If a new power line must cross NH, we should at least expect that it should be designed to minimize the negative effects on the beauty of the state. Burial will greatly reduce the negative effect.
John Fulcherabout 12 years ago Jefferson NH
There is no reason New Hampshire should be subjected to such a destructive project. Technology exists to bury the line and minimize the environmental impact.
