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?

  • Nan Montgomeryabout 11 years ago Alstead NH
    We must make hard decisions for our planet Earth. Our forests are critical in maintaining pure water, purer air and more but also we need them for our spirit and joy of life.
  • Donald Weisbakerabout 11 years ago Signal Mountain TN
    Every fall I and a friend come to NH to hike in the White Mtns. and to spend money staying and eating in many places. Our usual visit lasts three weeks.
  • Zina Dubowyabout 11 years ago West Roxbury MA
    The White Mts. have always been a big part of my life and its pristine, rugged beauty is a great escape from the daunting overcomplexity of human society today. I support renewable energy but think the proposal for this project far outweighs the benefits.
  • George Araneoabout 11 years ago Boston NH
    I love hiking in the unspoiled beauty of the White Mountains.
  • Lois Gillinghamabout 11 years ago Northwood NH
    We need to keep our land beautiful for all generations
  • Rebecca Russellabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    I have loved in New Hampshire my entire life and am thankful for its natural beauty and resources. I would do anything so that it remains in its natural state. Our natural earth and habitats are being destroyed by the second.
  • Robert Whitney Jrabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    I am an avid hiker, have hiked all the 4000 footers twice with sons and many other peaks frequently. A massive powerline such as proposed would ruin our beautiful White Mountain views.
  • Lee Millerabout 11 years ago Bow NH
    The great outdoors of New Hampshire serve as a refuge and a reminder of what life is all about. I have learned to stay true to myself through my time spent in this region.
  • Todd Aubertabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    The Earth
  • Judith Parksabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    We have been property owners in NH since 1978. These power lines will change rural NH forever--and offer nothing to the residents of the state. Please stop this>
  • Jeffrey K. Greenbergabout 11 years ago Wheaton IL
    I love and study the geology of New Hampshire. The powerline would certainly be an intrusion into an area needing preservation.
  • Elizabeth De Lauroabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    It would be a crime to allow utility companies to destroy one of the few unblemished areas of natural beauty left in the Northeast. There has to be a better way.
  • mary worthenabout 11 years ago bristol NH
    It is planned to go through my front field/pasture.
  • Robert Piehlerabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    Keep N.H. Mountains and ridges unspoiled
  • Sarah Whithedabout 11 years ago Dalton NH
    NH is the place where I live, work and play. The breath taking beauty is what keeps me here even when it's below zero in March.
  • Jane Kelloggabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    don't spoil the natural landscape. many of us live here because of it.
  • Nancy Collinsabout 11 years ago North Sandwich NH
    Because it's the right thing to do.
  • Matthew Cloutierabout 11 years ago Stamford VT
    This line would not only mar untarnished protected forests, but also my cherished place of summers – Camp Pemigewassett. Pemi's renowned nature program teaches kids the need to preserve our forests, and this line would physically undermine that philosophy.
  • Carole Binderabout 11 years ago Andover MA
    NH has unique scenic beauty we should treasure and protect. This most important asset brings countless visitors and new residents. NH should not be sacrificed as an extension cord or electricity supplier for other states at it's own expense.
  • Nick De Mayoabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    tourism; scenic beauty; wildlife sanctity; health.
  • Roberta McIntyreabout 11 years ago Sugar HIll NH
    Keep this beautiful land pristine and without the taint of mankind's greed and debauchery! We don't want Northern Pass, Kill the project. If we don't, the wonderful life that we have in this beautiful state will be forever changed for the worse!
  • Joyce Petkovichabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    Northern Pass above ground would have a negative impact on the beauty of and economy of the North Country
  • Polly Schneckabout 11 years ago Bedford NY
    My children attend summer camp in New Hampshire, and our family likes to hike and camp in NH as well. We do these activities (and the associated spending in New Hampshire)because we love the untainted wilderness, national parks, and forests of NH.
  • Brianna Trowabout 11 years ago Sunapee NH
    I go to the whites for the views and the "remote" experience. I am not against the idea of power going through the region, but please bury it. It is not only more scenic, but, in the long run, will have far less impact on the wildlife.
  • Mary Anne Boyleabout 11 years ago Deerfield NH
    We have a beautiful state that attracts tourists and wildlife. We need to maintain that for future generations. If other states can have the lines buried to preserve the beauty and ecology, Why can't we?
