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?

  • Patrice Gillespieabout 11 years ago Wilton CT
    Energy can and should be generated on a more local basis. Long-distance transmission lines waste energy and ruin beautiful view sheds!
  • Isabel S. Freemanabout 11 years ago Topanga CA
    I lived for over 40 years in the Boston area and still have a small house in Campton, NH. I would hate to see huge towers and power lines through the beautiful state of New Hampshire. Let's have lots more wind and solar power not Northern Pass.
  • Donna Girardabout 11 years ago New Hampton NH
    Save the beauty of this wonderful state!
  • Gregory Rosascoabout 11 years ago Holiday FL
    I love hiking in Maine and New Hampshire!!!!
  • Laura Storchabout 11 years ago Dover NH
    I hike in the white mountains all the time and the conservation of this aea is very important to me
  • Patricia Frasierabout 11 years ago Mt. Laurel NJ
    Preserve mountain views. Preserve forests. Preserve the Fall leaf peepers. Ban Northern Pass transmission lines.
  • Bob Pritchardabout 11 years ago North Woodstock NH
    It's outrageous that this company thinks it should earn extra profits by despoiling our environment forever. Don't let it happen! Please!
  • marilyn monseinabout 11 years ago franconia NH
    NH landscape priceless. If the project is so vital - bury it or forget it.
  • Robert Proudmanabout 11 years ago Harpers Ferry WV
    I have a home in NH and believe in renewable networking energy solutions, not centralized power generation.
  • Joanne Bockianabout 11 years ago Monrovia CA
    "...purple mountain majesties..." Please help keep our nation beautiful.
  • Donna Browbabout 11 years ago Granville NY
    Love hiking and solitude, nature and skyline of NH, once lost, forever gone -- please search for a win:win agreement
  • Jane Stojakabout 11 years ago Philadelphia PA
    It is so unnecessary to have towers above ground!
  • Margaret Hollandabout 11 years ago Grantham NH
    As I understand it, NH gets nothing from this plan. Temporary jobs are about all. We should not agree to act as an unsightly conduit to transport energy to other states if Northern Pass won't agree to NH terms. As in NH residents, not politicians.
  • James Martinabout 11 years ago Lexington MA
    We should strive to live in a balance with nature. Esthetics, are an important part, and are a very visible affirmation of our commitment to that balance.
  • Raam Devabout 11 years ago Lowell MA
    I want my baby daughter to grow up and enjoy the same natural wonders that I've been fortunate enough to enjoy.
  • Jill Hansonabout 11 years ago Burlington CT
    Nature can quickly and easily be destroyed, but not so quickly or easily restored. The earth and nature is our greatest asset. We need to learn other ways to power our luxuries or reduce our resource consumption.
  • Asa Brebnerabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    It will destroy what my family has worked to preserve, a 300 acre parcel of untouched beauty for 100 years
  • Jayden Westabout 11 years ago Hebron CT
    NOT NEEDED!!! PRESERVE THE NATURAL BEAUTY
  • Jason Lopezabout 11 years ago Gardner MA
    The WMNF area is a priceless treasure. Spend the extra money and reroute or bury, please.
  • Wayne Torkingtonabout 11 years ago Melrose MA
    Commercial interests too often ignore the environment, and do not seek other ways to find solutions to their goals. As a former city planner I have seen this multiple times.
  • Marjorie Hilesabout 11 years ago Cranston RI
    Unsightly,through towns, bury it!
  • Kathleen Lutterabout 11 years ago Ashland NH
    Preserve the natural beauty of NH...this is a very special state! To avoid the potential health problems associated with the electrical towers. Jobs may come but they will go and the towers will be left as a blight upon our land.
  • Eric Bastaabout 11 years ago Nashua NH
    Don't spoil our beautiful landscape!
  • william puzoabout 11 years ago quincy,mass NH
    I desire to protect the remaining wild places.
  • Chris Hermanceabout 11 years ago Gloucester MA
    New Hampshire already generates more electricity than it uses, and projected electricity demand has been trending downward.
