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.
Energy can and should be generated on a more local basis. Long-distance transmission lines waste energy and ruin beautiful view sheds!

I lived for over 40 years in the Boston area and still have a small house in Campton, NH. I would hate to see huge towers and power lines through the beautiful state of New Hampshire. Let's have lots more wind and solar power not Northern Pass.

Save the beauty of this wonderful state!

I hike in the white mountains all the time and the conservation of this aea is very important to me

Preserve mountain views. Preserve forests. Preserve the Fall leaf peepers. Ban Northern Pass transmission lines.
Bob Pritchardabout 12 years ago North Woodstock NH
It's outrageous that this company thinks it should earn extra profits by despoiling our environment forever. Don't let it happen! Please!

NH landscape priceless.
If the project is so vital - bury it or forget it.

I have a home in NH and believe in renewable networking energy solutions, not centralized power generation.

Please help keep our nation beautiful.

Love hiking and solitude, nature and skyline of NH, once lost, forever gone -- please search for a win:win agreement

It is so unnecessary to have towers above ground!
Margaret Hollandabout 12 years ago Grantham NH
As I understand it, NH gets nothing from this plan. Temporary jobs are about all. We should not agree to act as an unsightly conduit to transport energy to other states if Northern Pass won't agree to NH terms. As in NH residents, not politicians.
James Martinabout 12 years ago Lexington MA
We should strive to live in a balance with nature. Esthetics, are an important part, and are a very visible affirmation of our commitment to that balance.

I want my baby daughter to grow up and enjoy the same natural wonders that I've been fortunate enough to enjoy.
Jill Hansonabout 12 years ago Burlington CT
Nature can quickly and easily be destroyed, but not so quickly or easily restored. The earth and nature is our greatest asset. We need to learn other ways to power our luxuries or reduce our resource consumption.
Asa Brebnerabout 12 years ago Bethlehem NH
It will destroy what my family has worked to preserve, a 300 acre parcel of untouched beauty for 100 years

NOT NEEDED!!! PRESERVE THE NATURAL BEAUTY
Jason Lopezabout 12 years ago Gardner MA
The WMNF area is a priceless treasure. Spend the extra money and reroute or bury, please.
Wayne Torkingtonabout 12 years ago Melrose MA
Commercial interests too often ignore the environment, and do not seek other ways to find solutions to their goals. As a former city planner I have seen this multiple times.
Marjorie Hilesabout 12 years ago Cranston RI
Unsightly,through towns, bury it!
Kathleen Lutterabout 12 years ago Ashland NH
Preserve the natural beauty of NH...this is a very special state! To avoid the potential health problems associated with the electrical towers. Jobs may come but they will go and the towers will be left as a blight upon our land.
Eric Bastaabout 12 years ago Nashua NH
Don't spoil our beautiful landscape!

I desire to protect the remaining wild places.

New Hampshire already generates more electricity than it uses, and projected electricity demand has been trending downward.
