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?

  • Jeffrey Troxellabout 11 years ago New London NH
    We have hiked the 48 and enjoy the natural beauty of our state.
  • Terri Collinsabout 11 years ago e wakefield NH
    We moved from Delaware 3 years ago to escape industrial landscapes and power lines. new Hampshire is a beautiful scenic part of this country that should not be lost. At a minimum the lines should be buried
  • Bill Shabarekhabout 11 years ago windsor locks CT
    I love to visit New Hampshire often and hike in the mountains. I do not wish to see transmission lines through an environment known for its vast beauty.
  • Steven Monganabout 11 years ago San Francisco CA
    raised in New Hampshire, this project will directly affect family I still have in the area. They are opposed to this project. I stand with them.
  • Richard Bartzabout 11 years ago Tilton NH
    What happened to live free or die? does it mean anything anymore?
  • Brad Blackwayabout 11 years ago Warminster PA
    Because open spaces matter, andpower lines suck.
  • Francis O'Rourkeabout 11 years ago Newburgh NY
    It is a blight on the natural landscape and could carry long term negative health issues. I do not want to see them or learn too late that it was a bad idea. I know it now.
  • Lorraine Haltonabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    I value the beauty of NH and I live in the path of th NP.
  • Patricia Dugan-Henriksenabout 11 years ago Lancaster NH
    We must not destroy our future.
  • Rita Skechusabout 11 years ago Duryea PA
    I am an avid hiker and do not want to look @ power lines crossing the sky...
  • Peter Holtmanabout 11 years ago Westport MA
    As an avid outdoorsman the Northern Pass is to large a scale disruption to some of the most pristine natural corridors in the US. We need to strive to retain our valued natural environment
  • Raymond Panekabout 11 years ago Rye NH
    I find I needless to disrupt or destroy countless aspects of our rural areas of NH
  • Barry Duncanabout 11 years ago Portsmouth NH
    I want to keep NH as pristine as possible!
  • Marjorie Marjorie Bastaracheabout 11 years ago Lynn MA
    My grandchildren and all human beings.
  • Gay Crowleyabout 11 years ago Sherborn MA
    We are home owners in Lincoln New Hampshire and we have chosen to have a home there for it's natural wonders. We are well informed of this project and feel it is not in NH's best interest.
  • Priscilla Hairabout 11 years ago @Easley SC
    My daughter lives in this state and so will I later
  • Robert Desrochersabout 11 years ago Woonsocket RI
    Want to share nature with family and our future grand-children.
  • William Swantonabout 11 years ago Winchester MA
    Impact on the North country
  • Ronald Wrightabout 11 years ago Spartanburg SC
    If environmental impact is not important to our generation what do we leave for the next generation
  • Stephen Arlingabout 11 years ago Northwood NH
    Its important because the project is unnecessary and is not a 21st century solution to ever increasing power requirements. There are smarter options available.
  • Matt Raynesabout 11 years ago Candia NH
    I love NH and the wonders of the open spaces and outdoor opportunities that it offers.
  • Mark Benderabout 11 years ago Amherst NH
    Protect our forests and our views.
  • Kevin Hadlockabout 11 years ago Orange CT
    It's important to keep our vistas pristine whenever possible, and it IS possible to do so in this project.
  • Paula Wrightabout 11 years ago Landaff NH
    Tranmission lines would greatly impact the natural beauty of the White Mountaoin area and it is not necessary.
  • Marie Nolanabout 11 years ago Rumney NH
    Transmission lines are unsightly. Why does NH have to put up with it? The wind turbines we can now see in Rumney are okay but the transmission lines down Rte 25 as a result look like we are living in the 50's. Who allows these negative impacts to occur?
