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.
Everyday power lines obscure my view of the White Mountains!

Intact ecosystems sustain us and promote the health of our entire environment and economy.

It would go right next to my NH property in Thornton

Unnecessary blight on the landscap.e
Richard Youngabout 12 years ago Stratham NH
I value our environment and believe that any kind of transmission project, whether above or below ground, would be harmful. Also, there is no benefit to be gained by anyone in New Hampshire once this line is in place. Please stop Northern Pass.

Burial of electric power transmission lines along existing transportation corridors will benefit New Hampshire through preserving its scenic beauty, its tourist industry and providing needed revenues for the state on behalf of future generations.

What would Great Bay be like today if Aristotle Onassis had built his oil refinery 40 years ago?
Randall Owen about 12 years ago Pembroke NH
NP is going through my town and up north where I grew up. I would not be opposed if it was buried underground. No one wants to look out their windows and look at towers that are just plain eye sores.
DAVID BARTHOLOMEWabout 12 years ago CAMPTON NH
Will destroy what's left of New Hampshire's uniqueness.
PETER W MARTINabout 12 years ago WASHINGTON NH
Vistas are one of NH's most important resources. Buried power transmission lines don't mar the landscape nor do they get blown down.
Bob Parkerabout 12 years ago Landaff NH
We have already paid enough for corporate greed. We must preserve what little we have left. Leave New Hampshire alone!
Wendy Pietroniroabout 12 years ago New Hampton NH
The proposed Northern landscape would scar the beautiful landscape of NH just 1 mile from our home. We're concerned about living in such close proximity to direct-current power lines.
Carol & Rick Reedabout 12 years ago Bennington NH
Preserve the beauty, & peace of mind brought by the knowledge that a few places still exist that feed our soul and nourish our spirit ,let us not destroy that which has only been loaned to us.
Linda Dupereabout 12 years ago Campton NH
The tall towers will ruin the beauty of our forests and mountains. It will greatly devalue the homes of any NH citizen who lives within sight of them! Hydro Quebec can afford to bury the lines!
Emilie Langfordabout 12 years ago Northumberland NH
We need to be focusing and investing heavily in more passive energy and preserve our winning economical hand, our natural, irreplaceable outdoor beauty.
Jon Russabout 12 years ago Errol NH
To experience our natural world without reminder that we devastate it inches at a time.
Melanie Luceabout 12 years ago Campton NH
We have all ready sacrifices so much of the beauty in this world. We need to preserve what we can, especially if its in our backyard.
Fred Kollmorgenabout 12 years ago Exeter NH
The towers would ruin our North Country in order to transmit power that New England doesn't need.
Carol S. Fossabout 12 years ago New London NH
There is a reasonable alternative to high power tension wires running through the heard of the the beloved NH forests and that is to bury the line along existing right of ways.
Daniel St. James about 12 years ago Amherst NH
As a hiker and admirer of the great White Mountains nature, I do not want to look at power lines crossing this beautiful area!
That would be a crime!
Elizabeth Eganabout 12 years ago Sugar Hill NH
The White Mountain National Forest is a national treasure, and we have a responsibility to protect it from projects that will scar the landscape, pose potential health hazards and threaten NH's economy. Bury the lines or bury this crazy plan – please!.
Lucretia Ganleyabout 12 years ago Exeter NH
Our forests belong to all the people. They should not be defaced for private gain.
Christopher Drewabout 12 years ago Plymouth NH
I grew up in New Hampshire and plan to retire "back home" on property that has been in my family for three generations. That place is threatened by the Northern Pass proposal. Please stand against the Northern Pass.
Mark Labuskiabout 12 years ago Easton NH
Leave Nature alone!
Jim Petersonabout 12 years ago Hinesburg VT
I believe we need to begin limiting unrestrained corporate and economic growth, and replace it with a sustainable long term solution. Disallowing this project would possibly help to force alternative, lower impact solutions.
