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.

Let those vistas remain wild and free. There are other options.
Christopher Walkerabout 12 years ago Downingtown PA
There can be other ways for the line to go like underground or alternative energy sources.

There are so few vistas and places of natural beauty still unchanged. Please keep this pure.

It is not necessary
thomas sintrosabout 12 years ago alstead NH
enough human intrusions, please stop. When will we decide enough. Solar, solar, solar. Decentralizing energy supplies is the future.

This is a world class site! It needs long range protection.
Sharon Osbornabout 12 years ago Beach Haven NJ
New Hampshire is where I spent the happiest years of my life. Desecrating it with these towers would be a shameful, needless thing.

To keep NH's panoramic view pure and beautiful
Christopher Williamsabout 12 years ago Meredith NH
Preserving the picturesque views, especially in major travel corridors of the state is of vital impotance to preserving NH's sense of place for future generations.
Kristen Adamsabout 12 years ago Boston MA
I grew up in NH and still consider the White Mtns the most beautiful place in the entire world!
Sara Norrisabout 12 years ago Ellsworth NH
Keep New Hampshire beautiful. So many of it's residents and tourists rely on its beauty and outdoor lifestyle.

Natural areas cannot be manufactured, what remains must be protected and preserved.
Raina Chongabout 12 years ago Washington DC
Keep NH beautiful. NH relies on tourism. City Tourists don't want to see power lines. We want to see untouched nature.
Stacey G. Yapabout 12 years ago Holderness NH
The Northern Pass power line is right on the edge of my property; it will also obstruct the scenic view of the Tenney Mountain my house faces. Property & real estate value will go down and selling this property will be difficult.
Carl Lehnerabout 12 years ago Holderness NH
I live here

I don't want to see the lab I grew up on with a polluted skyline or landscape.
Keith Banceabout 12 years ago North Wales PA
There are better routes to do this that are less invasive to the wild areas and the towns on the proposed routes. Do it right!!
Angelika Evansabout 12 years ago Westwood MA
The power lines should be underground as that would require less maintenance and would not interfere with the pristine views and landscapes that the lines will go through. These vistas are irreplaceable and need to be preserved for future generations.
Douglas Frazierabout 12 years ago York ME
If the power line is that important, then the appropriate solution is ultimately environmentally, aesthetically, and financially viable if and only if the power line is buried and the line site is as unobstrusive as possible.
Robert Blaisdellabout 12 years ago Derry NH
I would like to see a landscape without the gun of power lines. I would like to see our access to these public lands protected.
Margaret Mould-Cooneyabout 12 years ago Forty Fort PA
too dangerous a proposal...we need to look after the environment...not abuse it
Laura Foleyabout 12 years ago Granville MA
Letting the northern pass happen with out any concideration to the wilderness sends a message that the earth is something to be wasted. We need to show our children that just because something is easy to do, does not mean its the right thing to do.
Timothy Burrowsabout 12 years ago New York NY
We need to protect our natural environments. Large power line projects ruin views and damage the environment. Why can't these lines be put under ground?
