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.
We need all the beautiful and uplifting sights that we can still preserve.

Trees not tower is a great way to protect our great states natural beauty. For wild life and tourist benefits.
Daniel Milletabout 12 years ago Berlin NH
I moved her for the sheer beauty the North country has to offer, I didn't ask nor need for powerlines (that could be buried by the way) to destroy our landscape to feed power to someone else, leave our land alone.
Abby Gordonabout 12 years ago Cranbury NJ
This is very important
Nancy Watsonabout 12 years ago Groton NH
Preserve NH's beauty. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. DO NOT let foreign companies come in and destroy the quality of our state for personal profit.
Pauline Maurierabout 12 years ago Manchester NH
We must preserve the natural beauty of NH and the wildlife and farms and economy that depend on it.
Margaret Heplerabout 12 years ago Pelham MA
This is one of our favorite places to go for pristine mountain experiences. It would be tragic to disturb it.
Maryann Lovicsekabout 12 years ago Toronto NH
It is important to preserve the natural visual beauty of this protected area for future generations. There is no going back.
John Welchabout 12 years ago Exeter NH
Future generations of Granite Staters will applaud you for helping to stop this destructive incursion. Bury those lines!

We need to PROTECT our GREATEST Natural & Scenic Resources. High Voltage damages the quality of life.Bury or STOP the Northern Pass.
Anne Reedabout 12 years ago Arundel ME
This area is a national treasure and the Northern Pass threatens the integrity of the area and will result in loss of visitor spending. Alternative energy plans should be explored before this extreme and irreversible measure is implemented.
Ron Kingabout 12 years ago Cncord NH
NH is a very special place. If we don't care for its beauty, its vistas, its unspoiled open spaces, it will become like every other place people try to escape

The proposed rte is right across the street from my house, there are 11 homes on our street that are less than 10 years old and all are unsellable.

I have spent parts of many summers from 1945, on, with my cousins, my wife, friends, my children in Northern New England, and I would hate to see the WMNF further marred by transmission towers.
Nancy Ehlersabout 12 years ago Campton NH
Save our Forrest and lakes region.
jullianne gilbabout 12 years ago berwick ME
I go to the whites in NH just to enjoy the wilderness, hike, and relax. Don't take away the beauty that's still in NH.
Benjamin Fordhamabout 12 years ago Campton NH
My property is close to the proposed pathway. We need to sell to move to a retirement community. No one will consider my property as Northern Pass has stopped all interest.
Dan Hicksabout 12 years ago Plymouth MA
Native of Colebrook, NH. Frightening to contemplate destroying environments and local tourism economy when other alternatives (existing lines or underground) are available
William Wurstabout 12 years ago Amherst NH
We are the stewards of the magnificent scenic vistas that our state offers. Let's exercise our responsibility by preserving those vistas for future generations.
Alida Brantabout 12 years ago Sugar Hill NH
Are you kidding? Not only do i want to save New Hampshire from ugliness and economic costs, i want to help love this planet. She is the only thing between us and extinction.
John Blissabout 12 years ago Newton MA
We often travel to New Hampshire for recreation and would be disappointed to see scenery ruined unnecessarily. More efforts should be made to conserve energy and to thus avoid transporting energy over long distances.
Harriet Resnicoffabout 12 years ago Concord NH
I want to prevent our precious resources.
Jeffrey Kaplanabout 12 years ago Highland Mills NY
We have but one earth; do not desecrate it!
Audrey Duaneabout 12 years ago Dalton NH
I lived in the White Mountains and climbed them all and am horrified at the plans for Northern Pass. I am so glad that AMC and Society for the Protection are working so hard to avoid this calamity.
