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?

  • Karen Acernoabout 11 years ago Epping NH
    Preservation of our natural heritage and our way of life in the north country is critical to our environmental future in this state. To bury any power lines, if we truly need them, is the better way. Thank you.
  • MURIEL HULSE HULSEabout 11 years ago lebanon NH
    We have property near the proposed site of installation. It will ruin the beauty of our NH Norhern forests and NH's tourism which is vital for our economy! UGLY!!!
  • Daniel Schildgeabout 11 years ago Westfield NJ
    I love to hike in the White Mountains, particularly with my children. Their children should be allowed to enjoy it as well.
  • David Burtabout 11 years ago Wakefield NH
    Few natural places, leave the few alone
  • Teresa Pintoabout 11 years ago Portsmouth RI
    I hike in the Whites frequently as well as the AT. New Hampshire and Maine are the very few remaining places that when you look out from a high point you do not see man made structures.
  • Jane McKinnonabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    The beauty of the north country is at stake.
  • Douglas Baconabout 11 years ago Stewartstown NH
    Please preserve our natural beauty for present and future generations.
  • Jay Habout 11 years ago Raymond NH
    I feel as thought the "Pass" will monopolize our power source leaving us with increased energy costs. Lets find another way.
  • David McGrawabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Northern NH is dependent on tourism dollars and must preserve the landscape that draws tourists here from around the world. It is a special place. Bury the proposed northern pass lines in their entirety or stop the project!
  • Monica Coteabout 11 years ago Penacook NH
    Tucker and all tree hungers and lovers are right. save our trees and our beautiful state of New Hampshire
  • Gail Boisvertabout 11 years ago Gorham NH
    It doesn't make any sense to ruin our landscape for other states to gain from it. Plus it exposes not only our people but our wildlife to the electrical fields. Documentaries show a link between electrical trans. lines & cancer in nearby neighborhoods.
  • Susan Weissabout 11 years ago Canaan NH
    If NH looses it'sforest and natural beauty, plus tourist dollars they'll be gone forever. If Northern Pass HAS to happen at all needs to be buried replanted. NU and H-Q should be required to compensate cities, towns, and individuals for lost revenues.
  • Bryan Flaggabout 11 years ago Warren NH
    I live, work and play in the White Mountains. I have an 11 year old daughter. We are avid hikers. I want her to be able to see the wonderful forests as I have seen them, not touched by man.
  • Stacey Littlefieldabout 11 years ago taunton MA
    This is important to me, because it is important to others.
  • Patricia Lacasseabout 11 years ago Canaan NH
    Because I do not want to see our forests ruined and private property destroyed.
  • Sally Davisabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    This can be done differently if it really needs to be done which is not clear. Solar energy sources and efficiency are how to proceed,
  • Ericka Shimkonisabout 11 years ago Suncook NH
    STOP the Northern Pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Lindsey O'Malleyabout 11 years ago Brookline NH
    out of market energy supply line will ruin our state's legacy, we should be stewards of our precious land and not open this door
  • Paige Gayuskiabout 11 years ago Dorchester MA
    natural beauty & recreation.
  • Kevin Camaraabout 11 years ago Fall River MA
    Preserve this land for future generations, as well as our own by doing the right thing.
  • Tim McHenryabout 11 years ago Woonsocket RI
    I've been hiking and hunting NH over 30 yrs and this will decimate the natural beauty. That's why I vacation in NH,to get away from powerlines etc.
  • Gary Atamianabout 11 years ago Derry NH
    There are already rights-of-way! Bury the cables! Awww, NP would have to pay rent? Too bad!
  • Tina Hamelinabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    I love NH!
  • Carrie-Ann Ferreiraabout 11 years ago peabody MA
    We are avid hikers in the White Mountains. We like the solitude and beauty this area gives us. I loved in NH as a young child and have been returning every summer since I got my drivers license. These towers would desolate the beauty if the forest.
  • joanne frolichabout 11 years ago lexington MA
    Without the wilderness we have lost part of our soul.
