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?

  • Sue Jenksabout 11 years ago Hanover NH
    Keeping Nh beautiful
  • sarah steverabout 11 years ago Bingham Farms MI
    As a frequent visitor to the White Mountains, I am sure this would impact tourism as well as the terrible impact on residents.
  • Una Harringtonabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Because my children and grandchildren deserve to enjoy our beautiful scenery without ugly towers blocking the views. And N.H. Doesn't even benefit from the not so clean power!!!
  • michael blackabout 11 years ago worcester MA
    I appreciate the untamed views of New Hampshire's wilderness.
  • Barbara Amosabout 11 years ago Hollis NH
    Why is the aesthetic beauty of NH less important to protect than that in other states?
  • Dottie Reedabout 11 years ago Carlisle PA
    I live at Camp Pemigewassett every summer, where we teach our campers about being responsible citizens.
  • Priscilla Simmabout 11 years ago HILLSBORO NH
    fOR SAVING OUR NATURAL BEAUTY FOR GENERATIONS TO COME
  • Janet Hentschelabout 11 years ago Carlisle MA
    It's important to keep our north country full of wilderness - Let's cut down our energy "needs" .
  • Barbara Collins Hamelabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    I DO NOT SUPPORT NORTHERN PASS IN ANY SHAPE OR MANNER. NO TO IT.
  • Laura Sundquistabout 11 years ago Lebanon CT
    I was introduced to backpacking in the White Mountains and have been many times since. I cannot imagine enjoying a summit view threaded with transmission lines. Please do not allow it to happen.
  • Kathleen Carterabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    The beauty of New Hampshire is what brought my husband & I here to live. Wind turbines already scar this beauty. Don't allow the Northern Pass power lines to add to the damage.
  • Debra Tenneyabout 11 years ago Canaan NH
    Power lines & wind turbines are ruining what makes New Hampshire, New Hampshire! A BEAUTIFUL place to call home.
  • Guy Tomasicchioabout 11 years ago Middle Island NY
    I have visited the area many times and would not like to see the natural beauty spoiled by this proposal, especially when better options are available.
  • Brendan Redmondabout 11 years ago Westford MA
    Although I am a Massachusetts resident, I spend a great deal of time in New Hampshire and appreciate what makes it special. The North Woods are a natural and cultural treasure that benefit us all and need our protection.
  • Midge Eliassenabout 11 years ago Sunapee NH
    I don't want to see NH's viewscape obstructed for the purpose of passing power through to Southern New England.
  • Evan Ravenelleabout 11 years ago Manchester NH NH
    As a New Hampshire citizen, maintaining New Hampshire's beauty is important to me.
  • Scott Olsonabout 11 years ago Bartlett NH
    Wild and scenic places are essential to our well being and the very definition of the human spirit. In effect, if we do not protect the wild places we lose a part, perhaps the most important part of ourselves.
  • rob scottabout 11 years ago hollis NH
    This will hurt our tourism and outdoor recreation opportunities.
  • Kasey Steverabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    The natural beauty of New Hampshire should remain unspoiled.
  • terri mcintyreabout 11 years ago worcester MA
    Having traveled all over the United States and seeing the destruction of Americas natural resources for developers greed. This is not a lesson to teach our young nor a legacy to leave them
  • philip zaederabout 11 years ago 03851 NH
    Nature preserved, utility maintained, under-ground.
  • Susan Swensonabout 11 years ago Plainfield NJ
    I visit NH for the natural and non-commercialized beauty your state has to offer. Most all other states have lost that.
  • joan bratzabout 11 years ago littleton NH
    Don't let us spoil the gift of nature and the beauty of New Hampshire. If the additional energy is needed, then bury the lines.
  • Grey Leeabout 11 years ago Cambridge MA
    My family is from Peterborough (the Wilders) and I spend a lot of time in the White Mountains and oppose the Northern Pass. I support increasing energy efficiency and distributed generation. Thank you.
  • Carmel Portilloabout 11 years ago Loudon NH
    It would be one thing if NH would benefit directly from the Northern Pass, but NH as a whole will NOT benefit. NH will be trading off its natural resoures for no gain to the people of NH. Burying is ok. Not building it at all is better, in my opinion.
