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?

  • Joseph Muratoreabout 11 years ago Tuftonboro NH
    Save NH natural beauty
  • David Zebuhrabout 11 years ago Gilford NH
    I applaud you in nothing. I am tired of being exploited by big business and Government in their corrupt marriage. That applies to vulgar thieving casinos as well.
  • Risa Mrozowskiabout 11 years ago Hebron NH
    New Hampshire is beautiful, do not ruin more of mother nature, when so many states already have!
  • Kristen Adkinsabout 11 years ago New Canaan CT
    Tree lines over Transmission lines! Keep NH beautiful for all to enjoy it's pristine beauty and majestic mountains.
  • Matthew Pailleabout 11 years ago Westborough MA
    There is so much development that is already spoiling much of the Northeast. The Whites are such a pristine, and beautiful place, it must not be allowed to be spoiled! Keep this beautiful place in it's current state for us, and our generations to come!
  • Martha Richardsabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    When NH will not get any of the power but will be impacted negatively in so many ways by an unwanted & unneeded private project built only for greed then it needs to be STOPPED OR BURIED!
  • Ruthann Wolffabout 11 years ago St. Louis MO
    My family has enjoyed camping in the Pemigewassett wilderness for three generations. The pristine beauty of the area is one of a vanishing number of national treasures. Please don't deface it with power lines.
  • Lynne O. Placeyabout 11 years ago STEWARTSTOWN NH
    I chose to turn down the offer from Northern Pass to buy my land because I do not want to see those unsightly towers ruin the state for my children and grandchildren.
  • Steven Gaughanabout 11 years ago Manchester NH
    My ecological values, especially for my state (NH) and my state, alone (not the rest of NE), far-out my economical values. I value the natural landscape or jobs for the few.
  • Patricia Wilsonabout 11 years ago Warren NH
    I moved to NH 40 yrs ago. Please don't spoil the beauty.
  • Cormick Frizzellabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    The greatest source of power is conservation - not creation of additional sources. It is not right that the northern lands of Canada are being flooded to provide energy for the USA. The process of flooding will create its own environmental hazard.
  • Albert Franzabout 11 years ago Dorchester NH
    Towers and the access routes mar the scenic beauty of any forested region and detract from it. Further, the power is not benefiting NH residents.
  • Edna Millerabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    I don't want power lines going through my backyard just because of someone's greed.
  • Nancy Oakesabout 11 years ago Westmoreland NH
    We want NH to stay as it is, not having its rural beauty spoiled.
  • Suzanne & Robert Senterabout 11 years ago Errol NH
    Thw great northwoods is the only untouched woods in the North Eastern part of the state. We depend on tourisum and if Northern pass goes through that will end our main source of income for this county.
  • Diana Curingtonabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    The natural beauty of NH is the state's calling card and most important asset. We would be fools to let others destroy it, for ANY reason, let alone an ugly, destructive pass-through.
  • david dawleyabout 11 years ago rye NH
    the natural beauty of new hampshire is our greatest resource. please protect it by taking any and all action against the northern pass project and similarly destructive and unnecessary proposals.
  • Terrence Hylandabout 11 years ago Grafton NH
    Towers are old tech, if it's truely modern and clean, it deserves a modern and clean delivery medium...bury the lines, not to much to ask for...
  • Becky Zumbachabout 11 years ago Ashland NH
    As a NH native, I think this would be devastating for the state.
  • Lori Kracoffabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    The Right of way that the Northern Pass will use is 50 feet from my back door. The White Mountains are my home.
  • Patricia Franzabout 11 years ago Dorchester NH
    If Northern Pass does not agree to bury its power lines, it must be stopped.
  • Brendan Fitzherbertabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    The power lines are right in my backyard and I don't want my kids to FRY!
  • Mark McCullockabout 11 years ago North Stratford NH
    New Hampshire should not suffer for the greed of other states.
  • Chelsea Petereitabout 11 years ago North Stratford NH
    I love the beauty of our state. This project is not needed by NH and will not benefit NH.
  • stephanie hainesabout 11 years ago Peterborough NH
    Nothing, absolutely nothing, should jepordize our beautiful landscape-least of all, corporate greed.
