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?

  • Peter Akermanabout 11 years ago Dover NH
    As with the Week's Act we need our political leaders to stand up to big industrial business and save our forests and land for all.
  • Jean Kennardabout 11 years ago Laconia NH
    There is no need to trash New Hampshire for an optional energy project when viable underground technology is being used all around us. The investors can easily tolerate a small drop in their 12.56% return on equity to fund the undergrounding.
  • Martha Pottabout 11 years ago Wellesley MA
    I vacation in New Hampshire and beg you to stop the Northern Pass. Keep NH thriving and beautiful without this travesty.
  • Julia Piepgrassabout 11 years ago Dover NH
    As an avid hiker of NH's 4000 footers, I can't imagine the need for the destruction of the pristine beauty of the intense wilderness that is the NH Whites. I look forward to my reward....the view! Bury the lines.
  • donna borgesabout 11 years ago warren NH
    as Tuckers says, trees are magical
  • Debbie Johnsonabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Burying the line will provide the needed power without reducing our tourist visitation or our property values. WE pay the outrageous taxes here, please let us at least keep the beauty of living here! Don't take that way, too.
  • Betty Faye Lawtonabout 11 years ago Laconia NH
    I'm tired of big business pushing land owners around for their own greedy ends!
  • Jason Lyonabout 11 years ago Ashland NH
    Tourism is the second major contributor to employment in NH; the scenic vistas of our Granite State which lure hundreds of thousands of individuals here annually should not be placed in peril.
  • Terry Kelloggabout 11 years ago Waitsfield VT
    the land and scenery are worth more than this deal to new hampshire
  • Linda Dammannabout 11 years ago Contoocook NH
    Northern Pass is a detriment to tourism in New Hampshire.
  • Clint Beanabout 11 years ago Grantham NH
    The Northern Pass project as proposed has marginal benefit for New Hampshire, but compromises the scenic beauty of our state...a major ingredient in our economic foundation.
  • Cecile Cormierabout 11 years ago Derry NH
    It is time to conserve our energy and not be wasteful! Our environment is too precious to destroy it for utility wires.
  • Joseph Lanzettaabout 11 years ago Avon CT
    I have been hiking and climbing in NH for nearly 40 years. I now take my daughter and greatly support keeping the north country as open and undeveloped at possible for us, for our children and for our grandchildren
  • wayne charronabout 11 years ago campton NH
    economic disaster torward tourism
  • Christel Gruzabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    A foreign co. is using NH to provide electricity to CT and NY. No benefit for NH and only $$ for big companies. Let them bury the line. Tired of their lies we hear in the news. We are not benefiting. Christel
  • Alison Bagleyabout 11 years ago Pepperell MA
    I grew up in NH and now, our family spends virtually all of our free time vacationing in and exploring the beautiful White Mountains of NH.
  • Faye Lyonsabout 11 years ago lowell MA
    I love NH and the White Mountains. I also own a vacation condo In Lincoln, NH hike and ski in the area where the towers would be, they will ruin the whole area
  • Lia Wainwrightabout 11 years ago S. Hamilton MA
    Out of state interests should not be allowed to ruin forests in New Hampshire.
  • Anne Hoyerabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    The energy industry is busy burying lines in the very states around us that have laws protecting their environmental and economic interests. So why is NH not insisting on the same level of protection?
  • Angelo Costaabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    Save our landscape and beauty
  • Kathie Lovettabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    Finding ways to bring wind and solar to sustain our communities.
  • John Gruzabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    To protect personal property values and the beauty of NH
  • randy koesterabout 11 years ago Franklin MA
    I spend many of my weekends enjoying the peace and tranquility of the white mountain region and want to see that preserved for many generations to come.
  • Andrea Leahyabout 11 years ago Waltham MA
    I love new Hampshire and its natural scenary. It is a sanctuary for me and I'd hate to see it ruined.
  • Joshua Wilsonabout 11 years ago Seabeck WA
    The natural beauty of our parks and public lands needs to be preserved so that our kids and grandkids can enjoy the same natural wonders that we've been able to enjoy
