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,m all for retaining the scenic views that the people of NH cherish

We drive 3 1/2 hours to our camp in Stark NH to get AWAY from the congestion and signs of civilization-please stop or bury the lines.

Future generations!

I travel to New Hampshire for the scenic beauty of the untrammeled wilderness, which we don't have in Connecticut. Since the power lines CAN be installed underground, they SHOULD be, rather than destroying the aesthetics of a very unique place.

The beauty of the New Hampshire landscape is among the state's greatest assets.

New Hampshire gains nothing with Northern Pass. On the contrary, it loses its most important assett...its natural beauty!
Maria del Pilar Singletonabout 12 years ago Hill NH
This state is a wilderness treasure. What is the reason we would ruin it for generations to come.
Patrick McNeilabout 12 years ago Center Barnstead NH
Keep NH beautiful and let us not prostitute our land for coporate profit.
Lettie Trespaszabout 12 years ago Plymouth NH
Windmills add a sense of art and rhythm where power lines are pollution. Power lines prevent the mountain from commercial art use in paintings, photographs even movies. I am adamently opposed to the power lines above ground.

to stick together to defeat this thing
Lou Canditoabout 12 years ago Hollis NH
Corporate greed is no excuse not to bury the line. The beauty of NH should not be marred for any reason, especially when a simple solution to bury the line is so obvious.
MARY Seamansabout 12 years ago New London NH
Because the lines will be unsightly. They should bury them and not spoil the forest
Cheryl Marceauabout 12 years ago Arlington MA
Aside from selfish reasons (property in Lancaster that may well lose its beauty and its value), I think it is the right thing to do for NH and for everyone who treasures our open spaces.

Increased efficiency and alternative sources are much better options.
Winifred Taylorabout 12 years ago Golden CO
I can't bear to think of those horrid towers and lines blighting my much-loved mountains.My great uncle was Philip Wheelock Ayres and my father, Dwight Kenrick Taylor was on the Society board at one time.
Patricia Leipoldabout 12 years ago Wolfeboro NH
The detriment to the beauty of NH is so much greater than the benefit when alternatives exist.
Robert Leipoldabout 12 years ago Wolfeboro NH
Maintain New Hampshire's scenic beauty.
Margaret C Smithabout 12 years ago Bainbridge Island WA
I grew up in Lancaster & visit the North Country often. Please do not allow the beauty of the area to be destroyed—bury or, better yet, stop Northern Pass.
Susan Purcellabout 12 years ago Bow NH
I want to protect our beautiful state.
Charles Bondabout 12 years ago Jefferson NH
The ambience of the North Country is its most precious asset. Power lines spoil that ambience.
Paul Bernierabout 12 years ago Stewartstown NH
I live along the propsed route, and can't imagine why anyone would want to ruin the natural beauty of the GNW....nor do I want to be exposed to the serious health hazards associated with high voltage lines
Margaret Edgecombabout 12 years ago Concord NH
Too many reasons to cite here...Have submitted all reasons via email to the US Department of Energy (Fall 2013)

It is crucial for Nh to maintain its natural beauty. It is ,after all, a tourist state, and altho that bothers me a bit, many people make their living from that industry. I am a hiker and want Nh to remain beautiful.
