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?

  • Mary Sue Seppaabout 11 years ago Pittsfield MA
    It is so important to preserve what wilderness we have left for the health of the planet and all who inhabit it.
  • Roger LaFontaineabout 11 years ago Bridgewater NH
    Enough is enough. If Southern NE needs electricity then PSNH should bury the lines and the end users can pay through their distribution costs.
  • Catherine Sklarowabout 11 years ago Mount laurel NJ
    The AMC's beauty and wildlife should be protected
  • Marcia Schmidt Blaineabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    We need to care for our future as well as the present.
  • Valerie Greeneabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    Keep our beautiful whate mountains free from unsighly towers! This is where people come from all over the world to view beauty! Do not destroy God's blessings, for money or convenience. Sincerely Valerie Greene ,
  • Gavin Campbellabout 11 years ago New London NH
    same old thinking, methods, motives, and costs....same results. Enough is enough.
  • Holly Haywardabout 11 years ago Franconia NH
    Keep NH Free and Beautiful.
  • Coral Lisa Woodsabout 11 years ago Temple NH
    Hydro power is not clean energy and allowing Hydro Quebec to come through New Hampshire would be supporting ruination of natural areas in both Canada and New Hampshire.
  • Peter Traftonabout 11 years ago Providence RI
    Shared family home in Jackson for 64 yrs, and spent 3 summers working for the AMC at Madison Springs Huts. We should protect the viewscapes of NH from despoilment by profiteering power industries, without any benefit to the citizens of NH. See CLF.org.
  • carolyn kelleyabout 11 years ago northfield NH
    Nature is a sacred gift. Don't spoil it!
  • Francelle Carapetyanabout 11 years ago Falmouth ME
    I've lived in New Hampshire for 28 years, and now am in Maine. I choose these states for many reasons, their natural beauty being one of the most important. If we must have Northern Pass, let's not have it desecrating the landscape. Please!
  • annie mackayabout 11 years ago eliot ME
    I'm an avid hiker and lover of natural beauty. Not very familiar w/ utilites and their expansion but certainly would like to have the line buried and not obstruct mother nature's beauty.
  • John Carrollabout 11 years ago Durham NH
    The spirit of what New Hampshire is is involved!
  • Ted Vansantabout 11 years ago Holderness NH
    It is economical to bury the power lines, you just need to change the price of power delivered.
  • Alison Perazaabout 11 years ago PORT WASHINGTON NY
    This matters to me because I've found a home in the pristine and beautiful natural beauty of New Hampshire. I work with the AMC in their high altitude huts in the summers, the White Mountains are my playground.
  • Toni Woodruffabout 11 years ago Easton NH
    We retired to northern NH for the beauty, tranquility, and opportunities for outdoor activities. Our frequent guests and family also travel here to visit for the same reasons. Please oppose the antiquated technology that will mar the beauty of this area.
  • David Watsonabout 11 years ago Arlington MA
    My wife and I vacation in the White Mountains in both summer and winter. The unspoiled vistas are what we return for year after year. And we bring our money with us and contribute to the local economy.
  • Carl Lakesabout 11 years ago Easton NH
    New Hampshire is a beautiful state and this pristine beauty brings people here to live and enjoy the outdoors. Northern pass should not be allowed above/under ground. Please stop the plunder of our state.
  • Brian S. Meyerabout 11 years ago Plainview NY
    It is and has always been important to preserve New Hampshire's forests and wildernesses for all to behold and enjoy.
  • sandra ortonabout 11 years ago greenfield NH
    It is unconscionable to think that power lines could be erected above ground in 2014. Scrap the Northern Pass proposal if the lines cannot be buried. Actually, scrap the whole plan! This state is too beautiful to trash.
  • Mark Orzeckabout 11 years ago Stark NH
    If anybody proposing this absurdity would spend some time in NH, especially in the WMNF and the Great North Woods, then the answer to the question of importance would be obvious!
  • Gerri Kingabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    It's important to me for the same reason all NH citizens should care. Northern Pass is a huge threat to our beautiful state.
  • Dan Faganabout 11 years ago Braintree MA
    Unobstructed views are what we must see.
  • henry kessinabout 11 years ago merrick NY
    Take a walk in the woods, refresh your soul, and then this issue has only one conclusion.
  • Barbara Ouelletteabout 11 years ago Keene NH
    NH native, supporter of SPNHF & Monadnock Conservancy. Want to insure the unspoiled, natural future of NH for generations to come.
