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?

  • Ruth Hamiltonabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    It will damage the value of property and it is unsightly for the North Country - the lines need to be buried if they must go thru this beautiful country side and area.
  • john and maria silvaggiabout 11 years ago sugar hill MA
    the beauty of the north country and the worker and owners who make their livelihood from tourist
  • Margaret Cowieabout 11 years ago Stark NH
    Preserve the beauty of NH for all generations, and stop allowing corporate greed to run amuck and ruin all they touch over the love of money.
  • Cecilia Blewerabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    This is important to me because New Hampshire's wealth is her natural beauty. Destroy that and you've destroyed her economy.
  • Chris & Judy Cabotabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    As proposed, Northern Pass is an abomination, trashing New Hampshire's north country for no good reason. Bury the lines, or don't do it at all.
  • Art Tuvesonabout 11 years ago Exeter RI
    I grew up in NH & love the White Mtns & wilderness of the state like its my backyard! Do not let Northern Pass destroy that - find alternate routes OR put the lines underground - this is an area that we need to protect!
  • Jan Edickabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    Northern Pass has repeatedly lied to try to convince us that there is benefit for NH in this project. Until they can find some candor, they deserve the same disregard they have shown us.
  • Brian O'Learyabout 11 years ago Milford NH
    Land owner in Easton and concerned citizen
  • Katharine Holman Bigelowabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    scenery is unique to anywhere in the world
  • Stephanie Brownabout 11 years ago New Castle NH
    Nature, the natural environment of our NH lands. Protected lands mean just that...protect them.
  • Donna Gravesabout 11 years ago Bridgewater NH
    if Northern Pass does not agree to bury power lines, it should be stopped. Please consider the beauty of the granite state and the longer term potential impact on tourism
  • Tracy Sherbrookabout 11 years ago Lyndonville VT
    Preserve our beautiful forests and the pristine wilderness. What is the legacy we want to leave? Do we want to leave forests, untouched and beautiful, or a scarred landscape, marred by human greed?
  • Marianna McKimabout 11 years ago Plainfield NH
    New Hampshire can remain one of the least spoiled places in the world. We deserve it and our future generations do, too. Burying lines is not enough. More local production and, especially, more energy conservation, are critical measures.
  • Yvonne Eamesabout 11 years ago Littlwton NH
    Hydro-Quebec can recover the extra expenses to bury the lines easily, we can not recover from loosing our scenic beauty that will be gone forever.
  • Dariush Ruch-Kamgarabout 11 years ago Easton NH
    Beautiful real estate is one of Americas most undervalued assets! The status quo economic model fails to consider the value of beautiful, untouched national forests simply because no one knows how to value them. Well, that's because they are priceless
  • Colles Stowellabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    Why should N.H. residents in the North Country have to see the permanent scar of greed while not benefiting one iota from this energy source? Bury the line if it must run through N.H. Better, don't bring it through the state at all!
  • John Smithabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    Because it will ruin the beauty of NH. I live within 125 ft. of where these lines will run.
  • Karen Naroabout 11 years ago Nashua NH
    I'm born and raised in this beautiful state, and I want to see it stay that way! Keep the White Mountains of New Hampshire beautiful!
  • chad fillionabout 11 years ago littleton NH
    Bury the lines if you HAVE to have them.
  • Jere Eamesabout 11 years ago Littleton NH
    Keep New Hampshire Unique, and Beautiful. Do not self destruct our Magnificent, Photo Scenic State!
  • Beverly Lamannaabout 11 years ago Easton NH
    It is important to protect the natural beauty of NH for generations to come.
  • Patrick Wrightabout 11 years ago Dover NH
    I am an avid hiker and outdoors man. I don't want to see the lands desecrated, that cherish so much.
  • Lloyd LeBlancabout 11 years ago Lebanon NH
    Our wilderness spaces are shrinking, and we are fooling ourselves if we think we can predict and then survive the outcomes of our reducing these spaces.
  • Randy Farwellabout 11 years ago Brookline NH
    This is outdated technology, bury the power under state owned corridor, giving the state the revenue not PSNH
  • Kathy Johnsonabout 11 years ago Columbia NH
    You are a breath of fresh air for the citizens of NH for standing up against Northern Pass! We moved to New Hampshire for its natural beauty ... there are so few places like it! Thank you.
