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 Eldredgeabout 10 years ago Farmington NH
    My wife and I enjoy the scenic beauty of New Hampshire's north country. I don't want to see that beauty destroyed by ugly transmission towers.
  • Dennis Levasseurabout 10 years ago Norwich CT
    I hike in the Beautiful White Mountains frequently. It would be a shame to see our most beautiful forest in New England be ripped up by unsightly power lines that would compromise the integrity of one of our most beautiful forest in the world.
  • Chris mcnamaraabout 10 years ago gilmanton NH
    Keep new Hampshire beautiful
  • Nicole Pirogabout 10 years ago Stratham NH
    Preservation and conservation of NH's natural resources, forest land and wildlife.
  • Aaron Willetteabout 10 years ago Boston MA
    I was born NH and while I do not currently live there, the White Mountains are very important to me. The AMC said it best, there is no clear need or public benefit to this project.
  • samantha gunnisonabout 10 years ago northfield NH
    Saves natures home my solitudes to live life free with earth
  • Irene Bowmanabout 10 years ago Greenville NH
    I have spent many countless hours and miles on the trails of the White Mountains. These to me are sacred lands. Please leave them be! Peace
  • Christina bothersabout 10 years ago Rye NH
    Why? Because I hike in the White Mountains and I don't want their beauty changed by power lines/towers!! Bury them or find another route!
  • Michael Wainerabout 10 years ago Stoneham MA
    Protect the Wilderness for future generations.
  • Jonathan Gottliebabout 10 years ago Natick MA
    I feel we need to be protecting the last remaining wildlife we have left and one of the reasons I visit NH is so that I can go hiking and enjoy the beautiful wilderness and mountians and don't want the view to be ruined by these high voltage towers,
  • Susan Wellsabout 10 years ago Cortland NY
    What a silly question. It's important to all Americans
  • Vicky Ballentineabout 10 years ago Dalton NH
    I want to keep NH safe and beautiful . NOTHING good about giant Towers .
  • Tonya Vansickleabout 10 years ago kingsport TN
    Those towers give off radiation and the trail is important as breathing air, why must progress have to be so harmful to the land and the living things on it....
  • Taresa Schraderabout 10 years ago whitehall OH
    its important to my a very dear friend of mine that enjoys this area with her family
  • Linda Straquadineabout 10 years ago Hilliard OH
    environmental impact would be devastating to all nature and people who have lived and enjoyed this area, just to profit cooperate America!!!
  • Rebecca Robinsonabout 10 years ago Waxhaw NC
    I grew up near the White Mountains and I have done a lot of hiking there and I still do. They will ruin the beauty of the White Mountains. This will have a huge impact on wildlife, trees, and the beauty the amazing White Mountains give the naked eye.
  • Diana Talbotabout 10 years ago Derry NH
    Please protect the beauty of the forest for generations to come. Protect Tourism and all the small businesses that are part of it. And please protect the forest for all of us to enjoy. The beauty of the White Mountains is what New Hampshire is all about!
  • Matcia LeMayabout 10 years ago Alton NH
    Why is the interest of corporations more important than the interest of the residents of NH. There are solutions to the energy issues that don't trash our natural resources. Please continue to represent the citizens of our beautiful state.
  • THOMAS SKOGLUNDabout 10 years ago MARLBOROUGH CT
    THE ELECTRIC COMPANYS HAVE THE RESOURCES AND THE DOLLARS TO BURY THIS LINE IF IN FACT THIS IS THE ONLY VIABLE ROUTE TO BRING POWER TO THE MASSES.
  • Clarissa Bronsonabout 10 years ago Cambridge MA
    We are canoeists and amateur n.aturalists and birders
  • Samantha Morissetteabout 10 years ago Deerfield NH
    The negative impacts go beyond aesthetics.There are other options to seek renewable energy, and MANY more ways to actually benefit local communities in the long-term.Preserving what we have of the ecosystem and forests now are crucial to their longevity.
  • James Bascomabout 10 years ago Center Harbor NH
    The environmental impact would be devastating and permanent, the power is foreign and there are other options that can help NH and NE.
  • Cristina Wrightabout 10 years ago Flint MI
    I want my children (8 and 11 years old) to be able to enjoy the the beauty of trees, breathe clean air and pass it on to future generations. Adopt other means of energy creation: solar and wind and put them on already developed land.
  • Daniel Carrasquilloabout 10 years ago Nashua NH
    I frequently visit the area and enjoy the beauty and remoteness it has. I want to see it preserved rather than destroyed.
  • Susan Dowabout 10 years ago Fremont NH
    I love our mountains, they will be destroyed. NH tourism, we depend heavily on it so with that how could you even consider the Northern Pass
