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?

  • Robert Mortonabout 11 years ago Ashland NH
    Part of the line is to follow a route through lines on my road. Additionally Northern Pass has sent misleading literature that makes me suspect there is something hidden.
  • Mary Ellen Boelhowerabout 11 years ago Greensboro NC
    The scenery in northern NH is second to none in the eastern US. Don't let anything ruin it!!! While I don't live there anymore, I still treasure it - and want it to remain pristine and beautiful when I visit.
  • Samuel Munsonabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    The Northern pass will not bring anything to NH but ugly poles to mar a beautiful view. The beautiful views that we pay extra in taxes to support.
  • albert jonesabout 11 years ago loudon NH
    Bury NP
  • Sharon Chamberlainabout 11 years ago Danville VT
    I love the north country being a local girl. The view from Corrigan Hill, near Mt Prospect, as you head into Lancaster is absolutely beautiful. A power line would not enhance the view for sure.
  • Stephen Barnardabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    we do not want to destroy the beauty of New Hampshire
  • Wayne Dionneabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    To me the northern pass is short term gain versus long term benefit.
  • Robert & Deborah Pevlinabout 11 years ago Westfield MA
    We enjoy the White Mtn for its outdoor activities and scenery.
  • Wallace Stuartabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    I am for green generation of electrical power but Hydro-Quebec's dams in the Romaine River will not deliver to New England power that will stop global warming. Northern Pass promises to deliver power that damages the environment.
  • Debra Cloughabout 11 years ago Grafton NH
    We need to keep our remaining forests free from development when it is possible.
  • Albert Mennsabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    Common sense dictates that buried lines are less susceptible to natural disaster.
  • Jerry Amosabout 11 years ago Hollis NH

  • Roger Martin Martinabout 11 years ago Allenstown NH
    New Hampshire has the best views in New England. It is a great asset for the tourist industry. Please don't mar our landscape, bury the lines.
  • Albert Manganelliabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    I am a property owner in NH and anticipate moving there on my 18 acres in Bethhelm, NH within the next 6 years. I don't want NH to become like New Jersey, which is disgusting as related to the destruction of the views of our mountains here.
  • Laurence Baconabout 11 years ago Stewartstown NH
    When I go hiking I want to enjoy NH's magnificent natural landscape. The proposed massive towers and unsightly lines will spoil the view.
  • Scott Piddingtonabout 11 years ago Sanbornton NH
    I love our mountains & Lakes. I am a volunteer trail adopter. I put solar panel on my roof. I pt my money where my ecological beliefs lie.
  • Douglas Baconabout 11 years ago Stewartstown NH
    I am opposed to the unsightly power lines forever marring our beautiful landscape.
  • Bruce Kirkabout 11 years ago Pittsburg NH
    I live in the north country, Pittsburg, and our biggest industry is tourism for our great scenery, our views,our ATV trails and snowmobile trails and our great hunting and fishing. People don't want to come view giagantic towers.
  • Linda Douglasabout 11 years ago Weymouth MA
    Property owner in Clarksville directly affected by Northern Pass routing
  • Linda LaFranceabout 11 years ago Franklin NH
    I moved here 21 years ago after falling in love with New Hampshire. I would hate to see it's magnificent beauty taken away by power lines. There is no reason why they can't bury the lines other than corporate greed and disrespect for for our state's beauty
  • Sarah Hamiltonabout 11 years ago Lisbon NH
    The project will destroy views & Northern Pass has not been honest. Their ads, etc. are deceptive.They should provide accurate & verifiable data on the cost to bury the lines.
  • Carol Sullivanabout 11 years ago Stark NH
    The wind turbines in Dummer are an ugly scar on the formerly pristine landscape-high-tension lines would be worse-I don't want to see them.
  • Kim Allisonabout 11 years ago Deerfield NH
    It is about quality of lfe
  • Joanne Knowltonabout 11 years ago Tamworth NH
    We need to maintain and protect the state's natural beauty and not do anything that will result in its loss forever. It is a treasure that should not be compromised.
  • Mark Steinabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    New Hampshire's natural beauty and pristine wilderness is a treasure, nurtured for over a century. Please don't allow it to be spoiled by an ugly powerline for electricity that the state does not need.
