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?

  • Steven Paddockabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    Native resident - we don't need nor want transmission lines nor wind turbines messing up our scenic lands, we just beat out one group of turbines up here lets keep NH GREEN
  • Lynnette Sitemanabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    Don't let Hydro-Quebec run rough-shod through our state!
  • richard sharpe about 11 years ago Cpntoocook NH
    destroys the beauty of NH bury the lines or stop it.
  • Ethan Hawkinsabout 11 years ago Keene NH
    We cannot keep destroying our environment and Earth. More renewable solutions that do not hurt out planet and the natural landscape and beauty of our state must be found!
  • Joanne Batesabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    Keep nh beautiful. Wait for a better alternative that will do less damage! This will be irrevarsable. We are better than this!
  • Kevin Majorabout 11 years ago Sandown NH
    Let's not lose sight of what encourages tourism in our north country. Hydro Quebec is not the solution. It will not be able to provide additional electric power in the dead of winter when we are trying to offset Natural Gas demand. See winter of 13-14.
  • Julie Mosherabout 11 years ago Bow NH
    NH is a state of natural beauty and should not be disgraced by the Northern Pass Project.
  • tina birdsallabout 11 years ago laconia NH
    The power isn't meant for NH, and in no way should NH succumb and permit the right of way to Northern Pass to tear apart our beautiful mountains and way of life. Bury it elsewhere or forget it.
  • Karen Torresabout 11 years ago Bow NH
    I moved to NH 7 years ago to enjoy the beautiful scenery, 4 seasons and unsurpassed outdoor activities. Please don't let the power company spoil the landscape for $$$. PA did that with fracking and can't go back. Fight to keep NH's scenic beauty in tact.
  • nikole bennettabout 11 years ago pembroke NH
    I do not want these lines ruining the beauty of this state or my homes land.
  • Eric Stevensonabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    We need to protect the rugged, unspoiled beauty of New Hampshire. It all comes down to quality of life and what makes NH such a special place to live.
  • Philip de Rhamabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    Preserve the beauty that is New Hampshire and not let a company dictate what happens to NH only to serve other States at our expense.
  • Mary Barrettabout 11 years ago Alton NH
    NH is Beautiful - why mess up the beauty with more towers? I don't like the windmills on our beautiful mountains either.
  • Will Vinerabout 11 years ago Sandwich NH
    The too tall steel towers will unnecessarily mar large parts of the beautiful New Hampshire landscape.
  • scott allenabout 11 years ago derry NH
    Because this is not good for NH. Because this is wrong for the environment as well.
  • Carol Lidstromabout 11 years ago Whitefield NH
    It falls to us to protect the natural beauty of this great state.
  • mark funkabout 11 years ago roxbury NH
    This is shortsighted destruction of immense natural beauty when there are viable alternatives. As a society it is imperative that we vigorously question actions that will irreversibly destroy an environment that is so precious to the world.
  • Patrick Giammarcoabout 11 years ago Medfield MA
    This will ruin the landscape and it's beauty as we know it!
  • Linda Ralstonabout 11 years ago Minersville PA
    It is important to keep the woods and views unspoiled. It would not do well to have the view spoiled with huge towers and power lines. Also the impact of putting the towers and lines would greatly dirsrupt the wildlife and pristine woods.
  • Victoria Maslauskyabout 11 years ago Berlin NH
    TREES NOT TOWERS!!!!!!
  • Kristen Randallabout 11 years ago Rollinsford NH
    Our state is beautiful. We appreciate it and so do our many visitors. Only the uninformed or people who don't truly care for our state support Northern Pass. I care, and I say NO! Bury it or nothing, because it'll only hurt us with no benefit.
  • Allen Henryabout 11 years ago Grantham NH
    These towers above ground is an abomination to our landscape. I have seen the ugliness of similar towers in our seasonal home area in AZ. Similar towers is what caused Frank Lloyd Wright to leave his Scottsdale home/studio never to return.
  • David LoVermeabout 11 years ago Brighton MA
    I grew up hiking in NH and continue to enjoy it as a place of peace as refuge as do so many others. I would like to see this preserved as much as possible.
  • Frederick Roschowabout 11 years ago Bristol NH
    Don't wreck the land..
  • Jim & Nancy Raynesabout 11 years ago Rye NH
    Too much of natural NH will be destroyed and changed forever. There have to be alternatives.
