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,

Why is this important?

  • Heather Roseabout 12 years ago Campton NH
    As both a property owner(vacation home) and "tourist" in NH I don't want to see the beauty of its majestic landscape destroyed nor risk the economic well being of the many businesses who depend on the tourism that beauty attracts!
  • David Brewerabout 12 years ago Dalton NH
    America needs a safe, reliable power grid. Overhead lines are an antiquated, short-sighted method. If you don't have the money to do it right, get out of the game.
  • Christina BOGATabout 12 years ago BETHLEHEM NH
    We must remember the future of our visual treasures and not allow the Northern Pass
  • Janice Krohnabout 12 years ago Brighton MA
    Preserve the natural beauty Of the land. I love to hike the AT!
  • Martin Freedabout 12 years ago Wellesley MA
    Please find a solution to preserve the beautiful, pristine landscape.
  • John Clippingerabout 12 years ago Jefferson NH
    The integrity of The New Hampshire landscape is one of its unique assets. This should become captive - nor degraded by the financial interest of a small - self serving group. There is no financial or social justification for Northern P - it shall not pass.
  • Peggy Wisslerabout 12 years ago Suffern NY
    We need to preserve open forests for the future of the planet.

    It's our way or the highway.
  • Frank Geisabout 12 years ago New Hampton NH
    This project benefits only the big power companies . Destroying our beautiful landscape for their profits . Reminds me of the Seabrook Nuclear plant mess. Please listen this time!
  • Agladee Romeroabout 12 years ago Revere MA
    Because we must preserve nature for our future generations and I love to vacation in NH wilderness
  • John Durantabout 12 years ago West Newbury MA
    Protect the beauty of the forest and limit the impact of power line corridors.
  • Ann Gonyeaabout 12 years ago Auburn NH
    nh is a beautiful state and should not be defaced by Northern Pass. Tourism is an essential aspect of the NH economy. Take a good look at the beautiful country side and please protect it. Thank you
  • Daria Cenedellaabout 12 years ago Hopkinton MA
    Hiking is an activity in which I partake to get away from the overwhelming and unsightly industrial and technological world. Keep our trees, grasses, and other wildlife standing and thriving. There must be a better way!
  • Katherine Kellyabout 12 years ago Weymouth MA
    I vacation in New Hampshire often.
  • David Dandurandabout 12 years ago Canterbury NH
    I already have two PSNH power lines on my property,I do not want another. It is one thing to have a right of way to erect a power line and maintain it but quite another to keep adding facilities. I do not want another power line on my property.
  • John Mattinglyabout 12 years ago Meriden CT
    I have been section hiking the AT for many years. Some of the most beautiful scenery is in the Whites, please kept it that way.
  • Lisa Stephensonabout 12 years ago Concord NH
    The physical health of NH residents, as well as the beauty of the state's landscape are dependent on this project's dismissal!
  • Jeffrey Hymanabout 12 years ago Sandwich MA
    Keep nature natural.
  • Barbara Mathewsabout 12 years ago Deerfield NH
    The beauty of New Hampshire should not be permanently sacrificed to a private profit making venture. New Hampshire citizens deserve to have their state remain unscarred and free from
