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?

  • Anna O'Connellabout 12 years ago Deerfield NH
    This beautiful state needs to perpetuate it's beauty and not give into anything that will hinder this!
  • Erik Dykemaabout 12 years ago Boston MA
    New Hampshire, the White Mountains, and the Lakes region are extraordinary natural treasures. Please have the Northern Pass lines buried underground.
  • Sandi Hennequinabout 12 years ago Portsmouth NH
    preserving white mountain national forest and beauty of northern NH
  • Barbara Heidenisabout 12 years ago Avon CT
    Because once what is beautiful becomes an eyesore all the regret in the world won't be able to undo it!
  • Patricia Mosenthalabout 12 years ago Campton NH
    My family and I have been enjoying the White mounatins for many years. We don't want their beauty marred by these ugly towers!
  • James Colthartabout 12 years ago Ashland NH
    I worked in energy before retirement, and I know that electric power can be transported economically without making New Hampshire look like Bayonne, NJ. NP's competitors do it now; NP can do it too, and without impacting our No.1 business, TOURISM!
  • Cindy Kudlikabout 12 years ago Grafton NH
    Please don't destroy NH for corporate greed.
  • Peter Ianoabout 12 years ago Nashville TN
    My wife and I have spent 15 summers in NH and do not wish its beauty marred by overhead transmission lines.
  • Matthew Colgan about 12 years ago Concord NH
    I went to Plymouth State, I have a special love for Northern New Hampshire. It would be a shame to see this happen.
  • Ryan Whatmoughabout 12 years ago deerfield NH
    the environment, and not selling out
  • Dawn Scribnerabout 12 years ago Gilford NH
    New Hampshire will not benefit from this project and is only being used as an extension cord. Don't destroy New Hampshire's beauty. Bury it along State corridors.
  • John Westabout 12 years ago Colebrook NH
    What little business remains in our area is now tourism based. This eyesore would destroy our community.
  • Kerry Keatingabout 12 years ago Ashland NH
    I love this state and want to see the natural landscapes cherished. I moved here FOR the access to pristine wilderness. You will lose many people if this pass is allowed because we moved here to get away from city life. Keep NH pristine!
  • cathy robitailleabout 12 years ago winchester NH
    Creating a few jobs temporarily only creates a disaster for those of us who consider the mountains to be a spiritual place. SAY NO TO NORTHERN PASS- it’s a no brainer! Let another state disrupt their landscape. It is selfish to think this is good for us.
  • Heather Hatcherabout 12 years ago Windham NH
    Stop the northern pass!
  • Jessica Cookabout 12 years ago Salem NH
    Stop the northern pass! Or bury the lines please!!!!!
  • Edward Saababout 12 years ago Windham NH
    Bury the lines or stop the NP!
  • Amanda Saababout 12 years ago Windham NH
    Bury the lines!!! Or stop the northern pass!
  • Pamela Saababout 12 years ago Windham NH
    Bury the lines. Or stop the northern pass.
  • eric lucciabout 12 years ago londonderry NH
    more needs to be done to preserve the natural scenery in NH
  • Susan Shaverabout 12 years ago Arlington MA
    I vacation a lot in NH and love the Whites! Keep them beautiful!
  • Caren Kelleyabout 12 years ago Lunenburg VT
    I think it's ugly and should be mostly underground. It will run right through my hometown of Whitefield, NH (which I visit almost everyday and hope to retire there.)
  • Kimberly Schlichtingabout 12 years ago 01035 MA
    Natural beauty is a balm for the modern soul and should be preserved- especially if there is an option of doing something a different way like putting the cables underground!
  • Michelle Knappabout 12 years ago Peterborough NH
    One of the few assets the north country has is the majestic beauty. Lines will do nothing to enhance the north country. And will not benefit the north country. Short term perhaps but not worth destroying the landscape for power to ma and ct.
  • Judy Ramsdellabout 12 years ago Dalton NH
    I am a landowner whose property borders the current PSNH right of way. Just the proposal of the high tension lines has devalued my property. I have a very nice view now but if this is allowed I will not! Please protect NH! Bury the lines!
