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?

  • Gerald Dionneabout 10 years ago THORNTON NH
    Those towers are the ugliest things forced on us to look at. They will get larger and larger, uglier and uglier as the time goes by. You want to see the future? Take a ride to Quebec.
  • Joshua Hallengrenabout 10 years ago Davenport IA
    Grew up most of my life in NH and moving back this fall. It makes me sad to see the beauty of this state be destroyed.
  • Nancy Bestabout 10 years ago Virginia Beach VA
    Native forests and their trails are vanishing
  • Maureen Walshabout 10 years ago Plymouth NH
    This power will NOT benefit NH residents ,they just want our land to supply power to other states. BURY the lines or better yet find another state that is willing to give up their land . NO to NORTHERN PASS
  • Bettina Ryanabout 10 years ago Whitefield NH
    Because this is my home and I do not want it invaded.
  • Robert Courseyabout 10 years ago Holderness NH
    The Powerline is our backyard and we do not want it there!
  • Mary Richardsonabout 10 years ago Chester NH
    We need to find better alternatives than building this monstrosity!!
  • missy correlleabout 10 years ago north reading MA
    I'm already witnessing the effects of climate change. We MUST stop now or suffer dire consequences!
  • Andrew Ryanabout 10 years ago East Pennsboro PA
    we need nature protected.
  • William Goodabout 10 years ago Schenectady NY
    I am a former New Hampshire resident who still recreates in the White Mountains, and I am opposed to any utilities projects which would impact the scenic beauty and environmental value of the White Mountains.
  • Sylvie Stewartabout 10 years ago Nashua NH
    We must turn to renewable energy sources now and build the infrastructure of the future so we are prepared to implement it asap.
  • Cecile Moerloosabout 10 years ago Woodsville NH
    I want to see the beauty of our state stay intact
  • Drew Gilmourabout 10 years ago Devils Tower WY
    To protect the last large undisturbed lands in New England
  • Victor Azotea about 10 years ago Claremont NH
    Destroying our natural heritage for the profits of big business cannot be the role model that we leave our children.
  • Brian Fossabout 10 years ago Gilford NH
    I don't want to see my state sold down the river for corporate profits.
  • Derek Avilaabout 10 years ago Milford NH
    Big energy proposing massive overhauls to a landscape that we know is in need of preservation while being a facet to local job stability within the rural community, there isn't any for me to view this as sustainable energy in NH while uprooting wildlife.
  • Victoria Embreeabout 10 years ago Woodstock CT
    The White Mountains are a national treasure, and one of the few places you can go to experience some semblance of wilderness any more. The area should be vigorously protected because it is irreplacable!
  • tracy morgridgeabout 10 years ago marlboro MA
    to take all the acres of land that don't even belong to us we are destroying all for profit and gain,but what's gonna happen when we actually lose this beautiful planet cause once it's gone there is no amount of money gonna bring it back!!
  • Kathleen Dingmanabout 10 years ago Londonderry NH
    I don't want to see and hear massive power lines when I am walking in nature.
  • Angela Keefabout 10 years ago Bow NH
    I am concerned about the destruction of forests and wildlife habitat.
  • Chris Roseabout 10 years ago Portsmouth NH
    Long time adventurer and visitor to White Mountains and North Country. Firmly believe in renewable energy, but this proposal does not support the mission of NH and becoming more carbon neutral to benefit our state and its citizens.
  • kathleen brennanabout 10 years ago campton NH
    Preserve nh natural areas and where people have built their lives.
  • Gail Gumbelabout 10 years ago Windham NH
    Southern NH is fighting Kinder Morgan's pipeline. I want to support my other NH neighbors fighting for the beauty of the Northern Pass!
  • John Larsenabout 10 years ago Bristol NH
    It runs within 300 feet of my home and we have children. Visual impairs our states beauty.
  • Greta Burgessabout 10 years ago Mancheser NH
    Keep New Hampshire beautiful.
