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?

  • Linda Frenchabout 11 years ago Bloomington IL
    I have hiked all 48 NH 4000 footers. I'll be returning to NH upon retirement within 2 years to enjoy the mountains. Please keep them beautiful by using more modern technology.
  • Christopher Labrecqueabout 11 years ago Hooksett NH
    We need to keep your natural beauty!!!!
  • Daniel Trotzerabout 11 years ago GREENWICH CT
    i grew up hiking and skiing in the white mountains and hope for my children and theirs to have the same opportunity
  • Evan Mullenabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    Could we focus more on conservation strategies and reducing our reliance on high impact 'grid' power? Why should NH sacrifice its natural beauty for the exportation of high impact energy?
  • Bill Ulinskiabout 11 years ago rainbow lake NY
    I have employment roots in N.H. DRED, family there, and want to paddle the Ct. Lakes with my grandson soon ! May return to live there. Thanks
  • Chet Dubeabout 11 years ago Bernardston MA
    I love to hike and ski in the White Mtns. I grew up near there and have many fond memories there. I believe this area needs to be protected and preserved as is.
  • Albert Dube'about 11 years ago Berlin, NH
    Just shit we don't need... NO need for corporate greed... OR any type of greed for that matter... PLEASE do NOT let this go through... PLEASE do NOT let this "fly"... PLEASE do NOT let this transpire... PLEASE do NOT let this come to light... -A.D.
  • Caitlin Sweeneyabout 11 years ago Destin FL
    Because I love the pure beauty of the white mountains and I'd had to see that tainted by some ugly power lines.
  • Connie Bousquetabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    This will not help NH and its economy and it will hurt our State's natural beauty beyond repair.
  • Stephen Waldoabout 11 years ago Nottingham NH
    I love the White Mountains. Have the corporations that are going to get rich off this project bury the lines - they can afford it more than NH can afford to loose more of what makes it special.
  • Shaula Dinsabout 11 years ago Saluda NC
    We live near the App trail in NC and grew up in HN & ME love the outdoors and don't want to spoil it any more
  • Joshua Gillensonabout 11 years ago Fair Lawn NJ
    The impact on so many NH towns and communities will be drastic, and will greatly diminish the quality of the outdoor experience on the White Mountain National Forest due to the size and number of towers that will be visible.
  • Jean Richardsabout 11 years ago concord NH
    I believe our forests,our views, and our unspoiled landscapes are too important to mess with!
  • Lyudmila Klavtsenabout 11 years ago Arvere NY
    I love to hike and beauty of nature
  • Laura Kostenblattabout 11 years ago Greenfield NH
    Nature is beautiful...it takes my breath and stress away!
  • Elena Hodgesabout 11 years ago Helena MT
    The White Mountains are some of the last, best wild land on the East Coast. Act now to stop Northern Pass -- this is too important to keep quiet about. Stand up for our forests!
  • Sandra Reardonabout 11 years ago Berlin NH
    I've seen the big power lines in Canada and out west they defile the landscape. Northern pass should be buried if they are to cross New Hampshire. The company will make plenty of money so they can afford the extra cost. Otherwise I am DEFINATLY OPPOSED.
  • Lucie Bryarabout 11 years ago Litchfield NH
    I feel strongly about preserving the natural landscape of New Hampshire. It is one of our greatest assets. I'm not convinced that Northern Pass' project is in the best interests of Granite Staters.
  • Charles Thorpabout 11 years ago Yarmouth ME
    I hike the White Mountains
  • Edward O'Lenicabout 11 years ago Alexandria VA
    Wilderness is disappearing fast, and once its gone, its gone for good. We need to preserve as much as we can.
  • James Sullivanabout 11 years ago Rindge NH
    The long term effects of Northern Pass will be devastating.
  • Ed Divverabout 11 years ago Epping NH
    negative visual impact to our biggest resource. why not put it underground instead of big ugly steel towers?
  • Karen Chettyabout 11 years ago Georges Mills NH
    We must find alternatives to Northern Pass. The negative impact to nature is simply too high a price to pay for a project that's necessity is questionable at best.
  • Steve Hansonabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    We must conserve this land. Population growth is undeniable, but it what cost? Please vote this down, save the land and animals!
  • Paul Kingabout 11 years ago Melrose MA
    I live in the City and work in Boston. There is no better feeling than escaping the steel, concrete and exposed infrastructure, and coming to this pristine land. These places are rare and disappearing every day, never to return.
