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?

  • James Cunninghamabout 11 years ago Newton NJ
    I have seen how the power lines have effected the Delaware National Park in NJ. What used to be beautiful views of the surrounding hills is ruined by the new power lines that are carved into the hills. Please don't let this happen in NH.
  • Alicia Jacobsabout 11 years ago Hooksett NH
    The NH outdoors has influenced my philosophy on life, as it has for people for hundreds of years. So much history- our mountains and our forests have been a place of peace, hard work, leisure, and everything in between.
  • Fred Bruneyabout 11 years ago Bayfield WI
    I am moving to New Hampshire because the citizens of this state do care about the health and beauty of their forests. The towers are an assault on all that nature has left for us to protect.
  • Stephen Kirkpatrickabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    Do not degrade the economy of northern New Hampshire for the benefit of southern New England.
  • Deborah Dineenabout 11 years ago Jefferson NH
    To preserve and protect the White Mountain National Forest's unbelievable beauty.
  • Joanne Melleabout 11 years ago Gilmanton Iron Works NH
    New Hampshire is beautiful, the Northern Pass lines would mar the natural beauty of our state. Bury the lines.
  • Pam Teixeiraabout 11 years ago Center Conway NH
    I moved to NH for it's natural and preserved beauty and do not want to see a foreign, private company use our land as a pathway to deliver energy to sources outside of NH. Preserve the White Mountain National Forest!
  • Erik Hanrahanabout 11 years ago Center Conway NH
    Maggie, please don't let a multi-billion dollar foreign company influence your decision. You were elected by the people of NH and NOT by board members from Hydro-Quebec. Don't make it about money, do the right thing and protect our natural resources.
  • matt charbonneau about 11 years ago nashua NH
    My wife's family owns property here. This is very important for the living and future of this environment to keep these huge posts and ugly wires buried.
  • lianne russo about 11 years ago nashua NH
    My family owns a condo at mountain river east. To keep up with the NH look and health as well as the beautiful views we now have this is something we all hope to keep.
  • Kurt Morgensternabout 11 years ago Derry NH
    The white mountains are one of NH last natural jewels. Bury the lines and minimize cutting. Greed and profits are not the answer.
  • Lynette Emersonabout 11 years ago N. Stratford NH
    Keeping NH free and not allowing Northern Pass to continue to lie to all landowners and residents and promising the world for their own benefit. No need for NH, but greed for NP fuels the entire project.
  • Philip Campanileabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    This installation of these large overhead towers would dimminish the natural beauty of the white mountain national forest, along with the adverse affect it would have on tourism, which this area largely depends on.
  • Giovanna Leporeabout 11 years ago Canaan NH
    We vacation in the northern part of nh because of the natural unspoiled beauty. Having spent time touring Quebec province I am shocked at the amount of transmission lines marring wilderness areas and flooding Native American territory.
  • William Meffertabout 11 years ago Allenstown NH
    Ruin the beauty of our state and property values of those near lines for the profit of a private foreign company.
  • Lisa Meffertabout 11 years ago Allenstown NH
    Towers will ruin the wonderful beauty of our state, damage the value of private landowners who are near them, possibly pose health dangers, and are allowing a private foreign company to profit of our state.
  • Donald Russoabout 11 years ago Waltham MA
    I have a condo at Mountain River East in Thornton, NH
  • Ann M Dodgeabout 11 years ago Landaff NH
    This project is not benefiting NH. The power is not being used in NH. Our state is being USED as a pathway to feed the energy consumptive homes and businesses outside of NH.
  • jennifer hatfieldabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    because the darn thing is supposed to go right thru my pasture on Route 2, the scenic route 2 that will no longer be a scenic route if this goes
  • Nicole Currierabout 11 years ago Hudson NH
    There are a ton of people I know who will be negatively impacted by the Northern Pass. I'd hate to see the natural beauty of New Hampshire destroyed by giant ugly power lines.
  • Jessie Currierabout 11 years ago Whitefield NH
    These towers will directly affect my family, running right through their backyards. We live in a beautiful place, one that many visit for that sole purpose. I want future generations to enjoy NH as I have, with beautiful views clear of ugly towers.
  • Thad Whithedabout 11 years ago Dalton NH
    Businesses should respect the will of the people.
  • Tara Gilesabout 11 years ago Dalton NH
    regional impact
  • Norman Dupreabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    Underground the transmission wires. Perhaps HydroQuebec and State of NH could put up some grant money to see if the young people at our universities can come up with some solutions to lower the cost of undergrounding if that is the real sticking point.
  • Francis Cashmanabout 11 years ago Nashua NH
    Once you lose the land, you lose it forever...
