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?

  • Angela Ryanabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    I was not born and raised here. However, when I moved here four years ago I fell in LOVE with the pure land New Hampshire offers. You just can't find untouched land like this anymore. Why ruin it?
  • Allison Hagerabout 11 years ago Londonderry NH
    Because I've lived in NH my whole life. I want to protect what little land we have left to nature, trees, birds, clean air and water.
  • Dale Geslienabout 11 years ago East Hartford CT
    I frequently visit NH to recreate in the White Mountain National Forest and other nearby locations. I do so because of the wilderness areas and breathtaking vistas. Please protect them for future generations to experience.
  • Michael Frittsabout 11 years ago Little Falls NY
    Governor Maggie Hassan, please don't be a dick.
  • rosemary perryabout 11 years ago meredith NH
    All of the above reasons!!!
  • Ed Johnsonabout 11 years ago Dunbarton NH
    Please don't ruin the natural beauty of NH!!!!
  • Edward P. Allardabout 11 years ago West Ossipee NH
    We agree the lines should be buried or the project stopped.
  • Peter Smithabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    We must preserve our most valuable resources, visual and natural
  • Carol Bartlettabout 11 years ago Round Lake IL
    The best part of New Hampshire is it's people and it's views. Do not let Northern Pass spoil New Hampshire.
  • Chuck Phillipsabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    This is NOT a clean energy source. The devastation that starts with the land of the First Natio people would continue down through our "sacred" lands. The only reason for this unnecessary project is to rescue PSNH.
  • Roberta Rateganabout 11 years ago Waterbury CT
    I hike those mountains and do want to see them destroyed.
  • Margaret Connorsabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    to protect our environment, our rural culture, our tourist economy, our natural and historic resources, our children AND because the only things that makes sense is a designated state corridor for burial of all elective trnasmission projects.
  • William Webbabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    No project, private or public, is worth destroying the very essence of New Hampshire. We own a hospitality business, the future of which depends on New Hampshire remaining the beautiful destination it has always been.
  • Susan Stottabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    I love the White Mountains and so do thousands of tourists who spend money in NH and help to build its economy. Thank heavens for the Weeks Act. Please protect our mountains and their views.
  • Sue Wemyssabout 11 years ago Gorham NH
    NH's greatest assets are her natural areas and the wildlife they support. A chain of high towers transporting power across our state will greatly disrupt and interfere with these natural habitats and the scenic quality of NH.
  • Jack McEnanyabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    NH already exports twice the electricity it consumes. If CT has allowed development to out pace its energy capacity, then that's a problem CT should be grappling with--not NH.
  • James Kilkennyabout 11 years ago Redding CT
    Because they should be buried because the developing world is doing it
  • Francis Coxabout 11 years ago Charlotte NC
    I Love The White Mountains..
  • Jennifer Tuthillabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    I treasure our state, and the natural beauty that makes it stand out from other places. We do not need to send power elsewhere at the cost of our landscape, tourism, and habitats. PROTECT NH!!
  • Anthony Fitzherbertabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    NP will destroy our property values, our beautiful land, our economy, and the electromagnetic fields emitted by such transmission lines can destroy the health of those who are exposed to these fields for a prolonged time.
  • Ann Hartmannabout 11 years ago Palos Verdes CA
    Own property in NH. Why destroy beauty and livelihood of proposed area? Bury lines!
  • Melissa Emeryabout 11 years ago Whitefield NH
    Maintain NH's natural beauty for future generations
  • John Kirbyabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    There is NO need to destroy our forests over energy transmission! We have enough technology to produce our own sufficient sources of energy if the D**m EPA was out of the picture! Not to forget to mention the greedy energy sector's influences!
  • Constance Howardabout 11 years ago Grantham NH
    The power lines need to be buried to preserve New Hampshire's greatest attraction.
  • Wesley Prestonabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    NH is beautiful. I love NH. Tourism earns many people their living, and many people live here because of NH pristine beauty.
