Bury or Stop Northern Pass

Dear Governor Hassan,

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.

Sincerely,

  • Donna Damonabout 12 years ago Tilton NH
    I enjoy the mountians and thier natural beauty so much, it is wrong changing it .
  • Stephen Rhodesabout 12 years ago Plymouth NH
    I do not want to support a business that is heavily subsidized be a foreign power. It provides little if any benefit to NH. It will be as ugly as sin!
  • Janet Ballabout 12 years ago concord NH
    Among other reasons, the towers will be directly behind my home at McKennas Purchase.
  • John Washutaabout 12 years ago Stoddard NH
    Let's protect our natural resources before it's too late.

  • Raynold Jacksonabout 12 years ago Townsend MA
    I am a proud member of the SPNHF- Land Steward-25 YRS, President-TRAILWRIGHTS of NH and Chatham Trails Association. and BOD of the Friends of the Wapack. Have Northern Pass bury the service like they have in adjacent states-do it right ! Thank you.
  • Salley Deckerabout 12 years ago Poughkeepsie NY
    Please save the views! Northern Pass should not be allowed to build overhead transmission lines! Bury the lines or stop Northern Pass!
  • Richard R Gerkenabout 12 years ago Meredith NH
    Towers above the tree line are unacceptable to our natural resources. Bury the lines like they did in NY, VT and ME. NE Utilities is only concerned that they would loose revenues if state and other rights of way were used with buried conduit.
  • Robert Youngabout 12 years ago Pacific Palisades CA
    A better choice can be made about the Northern Pass. Please insist upon one that protects the beauty of New Hampshire.
  • priscilla thomasabout 12 years ago exeter NH
    when will it stop? what will be next? I care about the mountains and the forests and streams-they are gifts and inspire all of us!
  • Terrence Delaneyabout 12 years ago Scotland CT
    The land is going to have a big scar across it. We need to start thinking about burying transmission lines and letting some of the forest come back, not taking more away. Ethan (13)
  • S Martinabout 12 years ago Canterbury NH
    I want my children and grandchildren to enjoy nature without the northern pass marring the view in New Hampshire.
  • Susan Sharpabout 12 years ago Murrells Inlet NH

  • maurice coteabout 12 years ago stark NH

    I drive up north. My love for NH is the North country. We have the most beautiful state. Don't spoil it for money and lies.
  • Phyllis Rowleyabout 12 years ago Wayne NJ
    I enjoy hiking in New Hampshire every summer. If the wonderful view changes it would be a shame.
  • Douglas Wennyabout 12 years ago Wilmington DE
    I am a land owner in NH.
  • Tammy Daughertyabout 12 years ago New London CT
    It's a scar on our earth that we don't need to create. I live in Connecticut and consider the White Mountains my mountains, our children's mountains. Please don't move forward with this awful project.
