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?

  • Barbara Faheyabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    I care about NH and I want to stop the mis-management of electrical utilities in New Hampshire.
  • Bruce Haneltabout 11 years ago Columbia NJ
    I have climbed in the White Mt range my whole life. Keeping this pristine and unobstructed is more important than the corporate profits. Bury lines. They did the same thing in the northern part of NJ where I live near the App Trail and it ruined the views.
  • John Mullinabout 11 years ago Windham NH
    Nature over profits.
  • Edward Dukeabout 11 years ago dunbarton NH
    I would like to see the northern pass stopped or buried because no one comes to NH to see industrial construction. There are better solution available, let's strive for greatness not short cuts that help the power company an hurts the public
  • Anne Marie Van Coesantabout 11 years ago Rochester NH
    Impact on the natural beauty of our state.
  • Mary Huntabout 11 years ago Stow MA
    I hike and need to see unspoiled nature !!!!!
  • Riddell Rogerabout 11 years ago Quincy MA
    i have been camping in NH since I was a small child. I know go camping and hiking every year with my son. it would be a great disservice to the national forest to mar the amazing mountain views with the Northern Pass
  • Brian Potvinabout 11 years ago Marblehead MA
    Stewardship of unspoiled lands is a generational challenge. Let's step up.
  • Cynthia Sopkaabout 11 years ago Allentown PA
    National parks are treasures to American Taxpayers and should be protected from disturbance of any kind.
  • Thomas Prattabout 11 years ago Hanover MA
    Bury the lines do not ruin the natural setting that have been enjoyed for many genertions
  • Jennifer Valentineabout 11 years ago Tucson AZ
    I grew up hear and every summer come back to hike the White Mountains. They're unique and important. The overhead lines are not necessary. Find an alternative.
  • Virginia Doyleabout 11 years ago Sanbornton NH
    For a state that relies on tourism for its revenue, destroying the beauty is ludicrous. The empty promises for jobs and reduced utility bills are false, they will hire their trained folks while local s will only provide unskilled labor.
  • Marni Hoyleabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    If lines can be buried everywhere else, they can be buried here.
  • Ed Langabout 11 years ago Lincoln MA
    We need to find ways to use less electricity, not facilitate more use.
  • Cindy Greenwoodabout 11 years ago Clarksville NH
    Because we purchased land in a beautiful area up north overlooking Lake Francis and the surrounding mountains. We enjoy snowmobiling in the area. The towers will RUIN the landscape and destroy tourism, whch is all the north country has left.
  • Judy Budgeabout 11 years ago East Andover NH
    Enough land has already been destroyed. Please preserve what we have left.
  • Jill Augustineabout 11 years ago Chester Springs PA
    Please preserve the vaulable natural state of this precious area by burying the lines.
  • Jane Kavanaughabout 11 years ago Rye Beach NH
    I live here.
  • Jeffrey Langilleabout 11 years ago Ventura CA
    Having hiked in the White Mountains and as a resident of a state where power lines have been allowed through scenic natural areas, I am signing to help save New Hampshire from the blight California suffers from.
  • Michael Parkinabout 11 years ago Bethlehem NH
    PLEASE - BURY this line!
  • Judy Lutherabout 11 years ago Ardmore PA
    These pristine areas belong to our children and should not be sacrificed in the name of short term thinking about power.
  • Amanda Simoneauabout 11 years ago Manchester NH
    I love the scenic view, the beauty of God's creation! I don't travel to go see anything man made that is not even neccesary!!
  • Sheila Murphyabout 11 years ago Birmingham AL
    Preserve our natural resources
  • John Buzdygonabout 11 years ago Quakertown PA
    Preserve the land for future generations. Spend a bit more now to bury the lines making them much stronger for storms.
  • Timothy Ridleyabout 11 years ago Keene NH
    I have been going to the White Mountains since I was a kid. Please don't let them destroy this wonderful N.H. treasure!
