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?

  • STUART SHERBURNEabout 11 years ago ASHLAND NH
    It is extremely important we do everything within our power to preserve the "NATURAL BEAUTY"of our incredible state! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
  • David Ernsbergerabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    Keep NH Bautiful
  • Richard Nelsonabout 11 years ago Wakefield MA
    This will forever change the area. It's untouched beauty is what makes it special.
  • Jane Higginsabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    The only way to do the right thing is to talk about the COST CONSEQUENCES of an action.The Northern Pass is not the only opportunity to provide Hydro-Quebec power to Southern NE. The CT River Line is currently under utilized. Please protect your State.
  • Lisa McNayabout 11 years ago Merrimack NH
    Want to keep NH beautiful. There's another way.
  • Jerrod Mitchellabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    If we lose our state now we will never get it back again.
  • Sheila Presby about 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    In my eyes the right thing would be to bury the lines!
  • L. Mark Kiblerabout 11 years ago Dunbarton NH
    Much of New Hampshire's economy is based on our natural places and scenic beauty--tourism, outdoor activities, second homeowners, etc, Let's not bite the hand that feeds us!
  • Janey Damianoabout 11 years ago Dalton NH
    I grew up in Franconia, NH & love the White Mountains & we want the next generations to have them to enjoy!
  • Betsy Robinsonabout 11 years ago Canton NY
    I want future generations to experience the mountains as I have over many years.
  • Ida Burroughsabout 11 years ago Plainfield NH
    The less man-made objects littering our wilderness, the more peaceful our surroundings appear. No need to show our presence everywhere.
  • Beverly Frenkiewichabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    Tourism is important to our state. I would not go visit a state to hike or snow shoe when I had large towers to look at instead of trees. Please make them bury the lines.
  • Jayne Drewry-Leahyabout 11 years ago Marblehead MA
    Our world will not be the same ,it will be a world of wires and development if this gets built!
  • joanne jacarusoabout 11 years ago whitefield NH
    i am a business owner and tourism is our lives blood … this will shoot us in the foot … STOP IT!!
  • Robert Reedabout 11 years ago Chichester NH
    It is not only important to preserve New Hampshire's views, but it also greatly affects my property values.
  • Brad Griswoldabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    I am concerned that this needless commercial venture will forever harm the mountains that so many love. If Northen Pass comes to be,our children and grandchildren will have to pay the price of a permanently scarred vista.
  • Amy Bettencourtabout 11 years ago Nashua NH
    I love the way our mountains and norther lands look without power lines ruining the great experience of the great outdoors. The lines need to be buried and will ruin the views of future generations to come if they dont.
  • Frank Garciaabout 11 years ago Ashland NH
    We moved here from NJ to get aware from power line views. Don't allow the utilties to make NH like NJ!
  • Dean Weedenabout 11 years ago Southborough MA
    Why ruin what beauty america has left?
  • Jesse Wagnerabout 11 years ago Glastonbury CT
    As a former resident of NH and a frequent visitor I treasure the UNSPOILED outdoors to allow me to recharge. A scar of power lines will destroy the peaceful yet wild feeling that restores my energy and connection to nature.
  • Roger Michonabout 11 years ago Chicopee MA
    I vacation and visit NH often because of the beauty. I live in a state that you can't travel very far without seeing powerlines. They are every where. Don't destroy the natural beauty of the great state of NH. Once it is gone it is gone forever.
  • George Larsonabout 11 years ago Derry NH
    New Hampshire will receive no benefit by allowing Northern Pass to be built. Burying the lines will still create a wide corridor. See what the gas lines did in southern New Hampshire.
  • Bonnie Webbabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    I am a native of Franconia, and we MUST keep our forests free of these towers for our future generations.
  • Nichols Bonnieabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    Saving our properties, protecting our mountains.
  • Marie Beringerabout 11 years ago Randolph NH
    My family travels from all over the US to vacation, climb, skii in NH thouout the year.
