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?

  • Mitch Manseauabout 11 years ago Hebron NH
    As proposed, Northern Pass doesn't fit New Hampshire -- or we don't. It conflicts directly with all the reasons why most of us live here.
  • Mary Huntabout 11 years ago Londonderry NH
    The natural landscape of NH would be ruined forever. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be.
  • Kate Powellabout 11 years ago Victor NY
    I went to college in NH, I have family living in NH, and I vacation in NH. Don't mess it up!
  • Bill Teixeiraabout 11 years ago Bristol RI
    We spend a lot of time in the backwoods of northern NE...we do not want that beauty spoiled by any development.
  • Jason Torsabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    To preserve our greatest resource in northern nh, uor forests
  • Allen Merrillabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    Just bury the mess if not keep it in Canada
  • Shelly Beaudetteabout 11 years ago Berlin NH
    We need our forest!
  • Florence Merrillabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    Bury it underground don't want to see the awful looking mess
  • JoAnne Schaeferabout 11 years ago Bristol NH
    The power line is on my property, it runs through my horses pasture and would be within a few hundred feet of my home. Not only would we have to see it we would also hear it when its being built. Its unhealthy and unnecessary, please stop this!!
  • Sandi Dodgeabout 11 years ago 03598 NH
    The White Mountains of New Hampshire a beautiful place to call home. Don't ruin what makes New Hampshire so special. We that live here love it, and there is a reason why people vacation here.
  • Harry Westcottabout 11 years ago Rye NH
    As a long time resident and lover of our precious resources, I am opposed to blighting the landscape with ugly towers.
  • Lee Lamontagneabout 11 years ago Berlin NH
    We the New Hampshire people don't want pristine areas ruined by a project that will cost the people of New Hampshire money, hurt our tourism industry, and cause environmental calamity to this great state.
  • Brad Brad Cookabout 11 years ago Kingston MA
    What are you nuts!? You will ruin your state's tourist trade. Just think of all the MONEY your state will lose! I mean let's face it, that's the bottom line. Forget that you'll destroy thousands of acres of the natural environment.
  • Eric Breaultabout 11 years ago Berlin NH
    It is vital to me because a natural looking environment needs to be saved from the destruction of ugly or disoriented looking technological advances.
  • Lisa Allenabout 11 years ago Plaistow NH
    There is no place in the country that makes me as happy as the White Mountains. Its beauty and tranquility are unmatched, and should remain as they are: untouched. Don't ruin what makes New Hampshire so special to me, as well as so many other people.
  • Ambry Laneabout 11 years ago Bedford NH

  • Peter de Lissovoyabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    It will be a very thoughtless mistake to let these towers be built. History will note which leaders helped stop this rash and ill-thought-out private venture that will compromise the beautiful northern part of the state.
  • Daniel Quintanillaabout 11 years ago Rockland ME
    corporate profits are less important than the preservation of natural resources
  • David Lambabout 11 years ago Canterbury NH
    As the recent past NH Artist Laureate, I understand only full well the importance of our aesthetic landscape and the importance it has for what we truly value in NH. The beauty our state has is one of our greatest resources.
  • carol tuvesonabout 11 years ago durham NH
    There is so little uncluttered landscape left in NH. Bury the line. This protects our scenic heritage, and our property values. This overland proposal for something which has little value for NH and great costs should not be allowed.
  • Peter DuPontabout 11 years ago Greenville RI
    NH is a beautiful state. Why spoil it?!
  • DAVID STECKELabout 11 years ago MILTON VT
    IF YOUR GONNA DO IT U GOTTA BURY THEM
  • Emile Dubisabout 11 years ago Salida CO
    While I understand the positive economic impact this would have on my hometown, Franklin, I do not want the negative impact it would have on the beauty of my state.
  • Linda Freemanabout 11 years ago Milford NH
    We do not need more electricity from out of state. Why not put money into creating jobs and cleaner electricity right here within out state??
