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?

  • nathan lindenabout 10 years ago ashland NH
    Less power usage would turn to less power demand. Save what we have left of our nature and wildlife habitat before some day its all gone.
  • Elizabeth Foggabout 11 years ago Manchester NH
    I grew up in Northern NH ( Groveton), the beauty of home will be taken away from me and everyone else.
  • Ronald senetabout 11 years ago londonderry NH
    many nh residence have no idea what is actuall up north other then mt Wash. The forests and mountians need to be protected in my hopes that we will all at some point experience the unspeakable beauty that exists in our north country.
  • Benjamin Wardabout 11 years ago stratham NH
    I am a student at Plymouth State University and I would hate to see the destruction of our beautiful landscape and watch New Hampshire get taken advantage of.
  • Kevin Ritson-monksabout 11 years ago Richardson TX
    Its beyond the realms of clear reasoning that anyone should want to bulldoze their way through the pride of new Hampshire and one of our nation's most breathtaking and beloved treasures.
  • Chris Burnsabout 11 years ago Naples FL
    bury the lines !
  • Michael DeMatteoabout 11 years ago Longmeadow MA
    energy policy must change
  • Laurie Noyesabout 11 years ago Farmington CT
    For 30 years I've spent winter and summer vacations in the White Mts. enjoying their pristine beauty. Now I'm planning to retire in NH, and I want it to be just as beautiful.
  • KAREN SPENCERabout 11 years ago STARK NH
    IT IS TIME THAT OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICICALS START WORKING TOWARDS GREEN ENERGY HERE IN UNITED STATES, NOT MORE DISSTRUCTION OF OUR FORESTS AND NATURAL LANDSCAPES TO FEED THE CORPORATE MONEY WHORES, HERE AND IN CANADA.
  • Aris Magawayabout 11 years ago Salem MA
    Keep the nature as it is. I love the outdoors,esp inNH where the mountans are so lush and beautiful.
  • Jason Blaisabout 11 years ago Canton MA
    I enjoy the fact that when I explore outdoors in these areas, that man made structures and power lines are few and far between.
  • Lorrie Haskellabout 11 years ago Lyndeborough NH
    I do not want our quality of life in NH destroyed. We need to protect our state
  • michelle luongoabout 11 years ago stow ME
    this will stop tourism in the north wich will end most jobs here. it will hurt migtating routes for wildlife
  • Karl Jakobsabout 11 years ago Lee NH
    We have better options on renewable energy and can benefit far better from the natural beauty untouched by the lines needed for this project.
  • Shawn Thompsonabout 11 years ago Berlin NH
    Very temporary jobs, and it will destroy NHs forest forever. No real help to the state.
  • Kristin Feerstabout 11 years ago Lansdale PA
    Bury the lines, its not hard! Our future generations (two and four legged) will thank you.
  • susan Talbot-Reganabout 11 years ago Bedford NH
    NH is unmatched by any other state. It's majestic mountains & lush forests must not be raped for big business profiteers NH residents take pride in our state let's work hard to preserve our amazing state for our children and generations to come
  • Lori Youngabout 11 years ago Milford NH
    I live in New Hampshire and I love to camp and hike in the White Mountains. It would be heart-breaking to see those wonderful hills destroyed due to human greed. Please bury the lines so we can enjoy the beauty of nature we have been provided with.
  • Brian Barberabout 11 years ago spencer MA
    These are protected beautiful lands, and they are your states greatest asset. I love hiking these unobstructed woods, as it is an escape from MA, which has been destroyed by projects like this.
  • Mary Ann Toyabout 11 years ago Chichester NH
    Don't destroy our landscape and animal habitats.
  • Bobbe McIntyreabout 11 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    We don't need it, we don't want it. Keep our beautiful state beautiful. NO TO NORTHERN PASS. KEEP THE MONSTER TOWERS AWAY.
  • Tera Fenixxabout 11 years ago Albuquerque NM
    The US must preserve natural land and its resources, must progress to true green energy, and I want to eventually live in this area in part BECAUSE of the natural land/resources and tendency of use of earth friendlier technologies and regulations.
  • Mary Speersabout 11 years ago Setauket NY
    My family live in New Hampshire and I visit, hike, and boat there every year.
  • Victor Carbonneau Jrabout 11 years ago Derry NH
    Preserving New Hampshire's beauty should be important to everyone. There are plenty of other renewable energy sources that would have less impact and preserve our state.
  • Stephen Sisakabout 11 years ago Somerville MA
    This is land that is owned by the United States, not politicians. I am the United States. You are the United States. This is our land, set aside for us. This is a cop out. Spend the money for the Northern pass to figure out a different way to do it.
