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.
Hydropower is not green if it causes such damage to pristine forested areas. Red outing or burying the transmission lines will raise the cost but we have not been paying the true cost for our energy for too long

I have hiked the Appalachian
Trail in NH and hate to see the
environment ruined with unsightly/unnatural towers!!!

As a frequent hiker and skier of the White Mountains, I believe that the maintenance of New Hampshire's natural beauty is critical to its continued economic well being by being a major destination spot for thousands of outdoor tourists each year.
Pat Sarantisabout 12 years ago Harwich MA
I used to live in NH and have hiked the 4000 footers. I am very familiar with the State's beauty.

protecting nature and our playground means a lot to my family!
Dede Wissmanabout 12 years ago Greenvilleo OH
I live a distance away in Ohio, but this hazard could come to us. We have a sweet spot for NH and all of New England because it is mostly environmentally unspoiled.

If north country towns do not support each other's efforts to stop invasive corporations from despoiling our natural resources, they will pick us off town by town. Stop the towers. Close the Casella/NCES landfill.We don't need either.

Our decisions now will be the future for others. Once this is done can not be undone. Lets not destroy nature and leave a mess that can not be repaired . Think first.

The power company can get power to where they want it by burying the cables and not scarring the beautiful White Mountains.
John Dalyabout 12 years ago Dover NH
bury the dam wires!
Ed Elinskiabout 12 years ago Gibsonia PA
Visual and environmental impacts greater than its benefits. All towns voted it down so this should be acknowledged as a defeat.
David Reyesabout 12 years ago Exeter NH
II own property and pay taxes in Woodstock because of the natural environment in the area. Don't let the shortsighted, narrow-minded economic arguments behind the Northern Pass justify the degradation of our State.
Linda Morinabout 12 years ago Pelham NH
The Northern pass would destroy wildlife habitats and the breathtaking views in the White Mountains.

NH deserves, and can do Better!!
Doreen Troupabout 12 years ago New Hampton NH
We don't need this going though our state., if it's so impt., then bury the lines. We live in a beautiful place and don't need those monster lines ruining the view and destroying our land! Period.
Pat Swopeabout 12 years ago New Haven CT
Protect our scenic environments . Be a Stewart of the earth . Protect the natural beauty of this land.
Dennis Dennis Koontzabout 12 years ago Marblehead NH
We need to retain the remaining pristine areas in the north east where nature can still be permitted to manage its own destiny minus man made adaptations. Permitting right of way will not support this long range goal. Please say no to Northern Pass.

Because we have a responsibilityto the future.
Carl Cascioabout 12 years ago Waterford CT
I vacation in New Hampshire's beautiful mountains and don't wish to see transmission towers spoiling the views.
Stephanie Priorabout 12 years ago Falmouth MA
I vacation in Northern NH every yeay camping and hiking and would hate to see the beautiful vistas one spends hours hiking to ruined.
George Keleherabout 12 years ago Somerville MA
N. Pass will permanently alter the natural; environment and alter the towns/cities that it passes through.
Tere are better ways.
Katherine Mossabout 12 years ago Somerville MA
Loss of habitat and wilderness
