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.
Giant towers would be a devastating scar on New Hampshire.

I have hiked all the 4000 footers and I care about our natural landscape!

I'm an avid hiker and local business owner. I believe the impact to tourism will be significant and thus a negative for our area.

The Northern Pass is a beautiful area and a treasure. Please don't make it like New Jersey!
Carole Chanlerabout 12 years ago Andover MA
I think it is wrong to infringe on land that has been set aside for it's natural beauty. Northern Pass should bury the lines or find another way. They should not be given the right to desecrate an area for profit. Bad precedent.
Elizabeth Thurstonabout 12 years ago Sugar Hill NH
We need to stop letting big companies try to tell us how to live and ruin what we all hold so dear. I want my children to be able to grow up and go hiking like I did and still do!
Mary Leeabout 12 years ago Northfield NH
Protect our mts. & environment. Northern Pass proposal is not needed. Environmental justice for NH calls for latest technology--bury transmission lines. Our mts. are our legacy to future public users--do not give it away.
Stephen Traftonabout 12 years ago Hopkinton NH
There will always be a "need" for more energy facilities of all kinds - that infinite demand should not be met by sacrificing New England's very finite wild places. The woods and hills have paid their price, many times over.

My family has owned a small place in northern NH for 40 plus years. My dad spends half of his time there.
David Bottaiabout 12 years ago Manchester NH
the need to preserve the heritage of this state is even more important now when we can see the results of the damage to other states from careless planning.
William Leachabout 12 years ago Rockport MA
There are few relatively pristine places left. Don't destroy the vistage with towers; bury the lines.

Burial along Existing Transportation corridors is the RIGHT thing to do. Thank You.

For beauty, heritage and communal use in its pristine nature
Charles Taylorabout 12 years ago Fairfax CA
I have been hiking in white mountains for 40 years. Please so not ruin the beautiful views with towers.
Ronald Molinabout 12 years ago Needham MA
I have hiked and skied in NH for over fifty years. There is no need for this disruption.
Chris Vivierabout 12 years ago Somerville MA
The White Mountain landscape is a unique, valuable and beautifully defining characteristic of the state of New Hampshire. Please do all you can to avoid this visual and environmental scar on our tremendous natural resource.
Jane Sylvestreabout 12 years ago Franklin NH
Leave our mountains alone.

To keep the wilderness as pristine as possible.
Barbara Skypala-Conwayabout 12 years ago Honey Brook PA
Have vacationed and hiked the area for many years. The NP project is not for the transmission of clean energy and is not for the benefit of the state of NH. This beautiful natural resource should be preserved for posterity.
Carol Baldwinabout 12 years ago Smithfield RI
AMC member and hiker. It's very important to keep this, and as much land as possible, as pristine for everyone to enjoy and pass to future generations.
Christopher Garnerabout 12 years ago Nashua NH
I value the unspoiled NH forests and mountains and the economic vitality that travel and tourism bring to the state. Northern Pass will damage this unique resource.
