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?

  • Joyce Breachabout 11 years ago Wantage NJ
    Keep the beauty of the Whites for all in the future. Bury the lines!!
  • Melanie Vaillantabout 11 years ago Colebrook NH
    NH is beautiful because it is the way it is right now, Power lines will badly affect the view on our everyday life and also on tourism.
  • Jerry Wallsabout 11 years ago Montoursville PA
    We enjoy trips to the NH AT for hiking and rejuvenation.
  • Jim Cannonabout 11 years ago Deerfield NH
    The negative visual impact is not necessary!
  • Richard Cyphersabout 11 years ago Ludlow VT
    Need to stop scarring nature.
  • Shawn Hassellabout 11 years ago Bow NH
    To preserve the scenic nature of our state, as well as not hurt the property or experience of residents close to the Pass.
  • Beth Shaineabout 11 years ago Amherst MA
    We enjoy the beauty of the White Mountains frequently. Please don't spoil it.
  • GLORIA MARQUEZ-STERLINGabout 11 years ago PLYMOUTH NH
    Green Planning out of control, rushing and destroying other parts of our environment that are as important as clean energy. It seems that money is the prevailing interest.
  • Sheila Henryabout 11 years ago Grantham NH
    This project is so tragically conceived and worse if allowed to proceed as planned. If allowed, it will become the "poster child" for corporate greed. A greed with no sense or concerns for any other values.
  • Shaun Kellerabout 11 years ago Lexington MA
    I hike in the mountains to get away from development and back to nature. I don't want to see the landscape changed by huge swaths of large electrical towers.
  • John Birdabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    Please work to keep our state vistas beautiful !!!
  • Kathy Langelierabout 11 years ago Thornton NH
    Visual and economic impacts. Bury lines in highway median. No visual impact, positive economic impact. Win-win, except for PSNH.
  • cathy robitailleabout 11 years ago winchester NH
    Please take the project out of NH for the future of our generations and enviorment
  • RICHARD A BAKERabout 11 years ago NEWPORT RI
    We need to preserve the beauty and tranquility of our outdoors. It is fragile and not always a renewable resource. We do need to modernize our power grid but find ways to do it in as environmentally friendly and sustainably as possibly.
  • Howard Goldmanabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    I love NH for its beauty and protection of the environment. Please don't allow Northern Pass to ruin it.
  • Garrett Sillimanabout 11 years ago New London NH
    This project does not address the primary public need - the continued free acces to unspoiled landscapes, both natural and cultural - if this is allowed to proceed we will have lost a signifcant portion of what makes the area so great.
  • Shand Wentworthabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    I feel like NH should value the North Country's beauty and bury an eye sore electric transmission project that will only benefit the states that have already sacrificed their natural beauty in exchange for modern conveniences.
  • mary lyonsabout 11 years ago rumford RI
    i am a amc member and hike in the beautiful white mountains, i plan on having my teenage daughters do the same ...we cannot destroy this priceless and amazing forest..
  • Benjamin de la Cretazabout 11 years ago Cambridge MA
    I grew up in NH and spent my summers hiking in the Whites. The value New England places on conservation land is why I am so proud to call these states my home. Please do not fore sake this land for short term gains.
  • Ann Hacklabout 11 years ago Center Tuftonboro NH
    NH's scenic landscape is both a a spiritual and economic resource that should be vigorously defended from exploitation by external and internal business interests trying to sell this project as good for NH - which it definitely is NOT!
  • Donna Hiltzabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    with all the new technology, why are they insisting on using old technology to deliver electricity? Find a new way besides power lines and towers. Bury them.
  • Maureen Beaulieuabout 11 years ago Somerville MA
    I want to see what little wilderness preseved for years to come and keep those scenic views
  • Jamison Lackeyabout 11 years ago Birmingham AL
    Natural beauty shouldn't be interrupted by power lines.
  • Karen Ramosabout 11 years ago Lindenhurst NY
    I've been visting N.E for 40 years. The beauty and tranquility is priceless. Recently I came to a realization while driving on a tree lined road. The difference between this road and an NE road was the power lines. It takes the natural beauty away.
  • Henry Frechetteabout 11 years ago Reading MA
    I spend a day a week hiking or skiing in the White Mts. and the idea that you want to place a power line through it is ridiculous. Put it under ground. Thank you
