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.
I am opposed to this project. I believe it will forever change the forrest and cause changes in the land and animals.

There is a better way of doing this.
Heather Millerabout 12 years ago Alton NH
The natural history of NH is one of its prime assets. Moreover, healthy ecosystems benefit us all. Therefore, we must do all we can to protect the natural environment of the state.
Joshua Korbabout 12 years ago Belmont NH
I love this state as it is now. It may seem superficial but one of the best things about New Hampshire is how 'untouched' it seems in terms of land development. Let us not repeat the errors of those who came before us. We can compromise.
Mahlon Hamelabout 12 years ago Plymouth, NH
It's New Hampshire
Drew Nelsonabout 12 years ago Grantham NH
Would ruin the natural beauty of New Hampshire's mountains while providing no permanent benefit to the state and its people.
Kathy Soaresabout 12 years ago Old Town FL
As the owner of nearly 40 acres of land in Sugar Hill, NH I am totally against any thing that would take away from the natural beauty of that area.
Maureen Paigeabout 12 years ago Claremont NH
I do not want the beauty of our state to be ruined by giant towers!!
Daniel Greenabout 12 years ago Holly Springs NC
New Hampshire is my second home and also my favorite state. I anticipate purchasing property close to the Northern Pass Project within the next year or two. I do not want to be effected by its development.
Kristie stoneabout 12 years ago merrimack NH
it s important to preserve the habitats in our North Country and not allow the land to be scarred with towers!
robin mooresabout 12 years ago Cambridge MA
- because the White Mts are my only tangible source of healing. There is always the intangible, but being both body and soul I kinda need both.
Thomas Bigfordabout 12 years ago Bradford NH
I love my state and its environment just the way it is. We have seen the mess from other power transmission lines.
Mona Ferrisabout 12 years ago Independence OR
Electricity is important - we all use it! But let's bring our needs into the 21st Century. Bury all new transmission lines.
Susan Youngabout 12 years ago Woodsrock NH
It is poorly conceived and brings not one single benefit to northern New Hampshire and few if any to the rest of the state.
Barbara Quinchiaabout 12 years ago Hebron NH
If we take the money's that have been given in tax subsidies to all renewable energy, energy companies and applied it to energy conservation and weatherization we would already be energy independent.
Shawn Boutinabout 12 years ago Derry NH
Nature must kept as is , a major part of nh's attraction is the nature scenery and animals tearing parts of forest to build would destroy a lot of this beauty
Michele Regan-Laddabout 12 years ago Shutesbury MA
I have been coming to the Wt Mts since I was a child. This ace is one of the few untouched treasures in NH. Please leave it as it was meant to be when the Wt Mts were set aside as a National Forest.
Susan Greenabout 12 years ago Mt Stewart, PEI, Canada NH
I have hiked here for over 25 years and now I volunteer for the AMC....
Alden Holmesabout 12 years ago Jefferson NH
Northern Pass will destroy property values, scar our landscape and ruin the tourist industry in the north country.,w
Hat eifht to do they to destroy an entire region and stare? Say NO to ,northern pass.
Rebecca Greeneabout 12 years ago Meredith NH
Northern Pass must be stopped. Our forests and mountains are a treasure of incomparable beauty.
Gabrielle Meunierabout 12 years ago Dayville CT
The White Mountain National Forest is my refuge. It is a beautiful land that should be respected and admired, not destroyed.
Aaron Greeneabout 12 years ago Meredith NH
We must protect our forests and national parks. 'We do not inherit the land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.'
alex mottabout 12 years ago Clinton CT
this is the one of most beautiful places in the world from trees to wild life. I bring my family up their 2 week every summer.
Catherine Arlingabout 12 years ago epsom NH
This impacts NH's landscape, let alone the state's motto of preservation and conservation. To agree to the project would mean sacrificing the state's values for "cheap" energy at the cost of NH's landscape and beauty. Don't tread on NH!
Bruce Gillardabout 12 years ago Cranston RI
This project would have negative environmental, health and conservation effects. It would affect the landscape, wildlife and potentially the people who visit these lands. Tell Northeast Utilities and Hydro-Québec to go underground or go away. Thank you.
