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.
Sustain and protect New Hampshire's magnificent natural beauty for generations to enjoy!

Northern Pass should not ruin our lovely state by ugly towers when there is another way electricity can get to customers.

We have a camp in Stewartstown along the 8 miles proposed buried line. We are concerned about spraying herbicides and also radiation as well as many other problems these lines will bring.

Growing up in New England, and now living elsewhere, I have realized that there is no place in the country that is beautiful as New England. We should keep it that way for generations to come. Once it is gone, you can't bring it back.
