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?

  • Doreen Boucherabout 11 years ago Nashua NH
    love my beautiful state the way it is.
  • Ann Kelleyabout 11 years ago Lincoln NH
    I have lived in northern NH all my life cuz I love the activities available to me and appreciate its beauty. Building NP above ground will destroy the tranquility of the area for all. The presence of it will also impact property values.
  • Amy Bahrabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    NH's north country forests are pristine--one of the few places as such on earth. Please don't ruin them.
  • Samuel Knowlesabout 11 years ago Hooksett NH
    We need to protect our precious forests. Our forests is what makes NH a great state.
  • Teresa Gouldabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    Because the towers will ruin the view of New Hampshire's White Mountain area. They will be detrimental to humans and wildlife, and basically reverses all the goods reasons to visit and live in this state.
  • Sigmund and Anne Hudsonabout 11 years ago Lisbon NH
    The north woods, forests, national parks, state parks and private lands do not need this destruction. There are a number of alternatives that can be used in 2014.
  • Richard Ruthabout 11 years ago Whitefield NH
    The northern pass does NOT benefit New Hampshire at all. We oppose it.
  • Daniel Fowler, Jr.about 11 years ago Franconia NH
    Keep NH beautiful!
  • Margaret merriganabout 11 years ago nashua NH
    It is important to me because New Hampshire is a truly gorgeous state......once that beauty is damaged, destroyed, so is the image of our state......Scenic New Hampshire????? Only if you enjoy looking at tall, ugly towers.........bury the whole mess1
  • Sheena Ravenabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    The beauty of our state is its biggest resource. The jobs the Northern Pass will create are temporary and will destroy tourism. The Northern Pass won't be near my land. I care about the people who will be hurt and who don't want to live near the towers.
  • Tom Hartmanabout 11 years ago Dalton NH
    I believe we should use existing distribution assets such as our highways instead of creating new ones at the expense of our natural resources and environment. This will have a negative impact on our tourism industry as well.
  • susan fordabout 11 years ago Easton NH
    It just makes sense for NH - for the esthetics and for our economy.
  • Sue Langabout 11 years ago Epsom NH
    It will impact how NH land will look, it's not going to create any long lasting jobs as advertised in the commercials & I question the $ towns will get if these lines are allowed to be erected.
  • Elizabeth Terpabout 11 years ago NH NH
    HQ buried 100 miles of line in Australia and reduced their maintenance costs by over 80%. Burying the line in NH along state rights of way is most economical financially and environmentally. Please vote for buried lines.
  • Sydnee Goddardabout 11 years ago Kensington NH
    I love the vistas in New Hampshire and hiking all over the state.
  • Crystal-ann Crystal-ann Berwickabout 11 years ago Berlin NH
    This is not in the interest of New Hampshire residents.
  • Michelle Veaseyabout 11 years ago Atkinson NH
    Because future generations deserve an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our state too.
  • GARETT W. SAVARDabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    Native son, and I've seen the scars on the landscape of many other places. Take a drive to Montreal or Lake Saint John PAUL and you'll see our future if we don't BURY NORTHERN PASS!!!
  • Rex Jonesabout 11 years ago Allenstown NH
    It would be owned by one elec company and they would raise rates too high. PSNH is too expensive now and would go higher.
  • Denise Turcotteabout 11 years ago Pittsfield, NH NH
    I believe in keeping NH as pristine as it can be for all species as well as humans. II believe we need to examine how we can make a greater effort to diminish our carbon footprint. Thank you.
  • Carleen Quinnabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    I love this land and I want future generations to see things the way they are now, NO TOWERS
  • Susan Argetsingerabout 11 years ago WHITEFIELD NH
    Once destroyed by ugly towers the landscape can never be as beautiful as we know it today. The loss of New Hampshire's iconic scenery can't be measured in dollars - it is irreplaceable.
  • Dan Allenabout 11 years ago New London NH
    We are frequent visitors to the Great North Woods. We already see smaller power lines paralleling the road north. We don't need further ruination of our fine vistas,
  • Regina Bouvierabout 11 years ago Summerfield FL
    I grew up in Franklin NH and I love NH mountains and woods. There is a beauty there that reaches the soul. I would hate to see that destroyed!!
  • Lieza Donnellyabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    I believe that this will be bad for all but big business. Our state relys on the beauty and simplicity of our wilderness for revenue. Once the first step has been taken away from that we will not be able go back. They are not a means for corporate profit.
