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,

  • Katherine Thorndikeabout 11 years ago North Sandwich NH
    I am a hiker and don't want to see towers looming above anymore than we already have.
  • John Petritusabout 11 years ago New Fairfield CT
    This would ruin the natural beauty of this region.
  • Merryl Goldmanabout 11 years ago Alexandria NH
    This is important to me...because NH is important to me! It is my home! No Northern Pass!!
  • Doug Mayerabout 11 years ago Randolph NH
    This is a terrible project! There's nothing green about Hydro Quebec, and the project serves no tangible public need.
  • Philip de Rhamabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    New Hampshire is it's Forrest's and outdoor beauty. Bury it or abandon the project.
  • Kathleen Corcoranabout 11 years ago RUMNEY NH
    Don't make NH pay for other states energy problems. Stop foreign entities from ruining our landscape and possibly creating health issues to our residents.

    our state is a favorite with hikers, climbers, skiers, campers, leaf peepers. We are special. Our north country is magnificent. Why rape it and defile it with utility towers? either bury the lines or abandon the project.
  • Rosemary D'Arcyabout 11 years ago Bristol NH
    New Hampshire's White Mountains are a significant source of economic opportunity for the state. I know we need energy sources, but I don't think we need them at the expense of the beautiful vistas and environmentally important wildlife habitat.
  • Eli Connorsabout 11 years ago New Canaan CT
    Is there any forest left without power lines or industrial reminders?
  • Julie Morseabout 11 years ago Wilmot NH
    we have lost our old man we cannot loose our lovely woodlands. Think of our children and grandchildren. I also don't think we are being shown the real picture. I would hate to think that money is the bottom line for destroying our great state.
  • Cliff Chadwickabout 11 years ago Hampton Falls NH

    Because I donn\'t want the beauty of New Hampshire to be destroyed.
  • Amy Beasleyabout 11 years ago Elkton NH
    I was born and raised in massachusetts and I want to help preserve New Englands natural beauty
  • Cynthia Hayesabout 11 years ago Georges Mills NH
    It doesn't make sense to me to cause such a blight on our land for the sole purpose of someone making money. The service will not even benefit those that are affected by the damage it will cause.
  • Andrew Deeryabout 11 years ago New Canaan CT
    I love trees not wires
  • Andrew Billoabout 11 years ago Hanover NH
    Conservation, not expansion, is the answer to our energy needs. New Hampshire's forests are a resource for all of us.
  • Kathy Brodieabout 11 years ago Auburn MA
    To much of our natural,beautiful world is being destroyed for the convience of some who can not be bothered to appreciate what is important or truly meaningful in this world.
  • Patricia Berardabout 11 years ago Fiskdale MA

  • Justin Gonsalvesabout 11 years ago Somerville MA
    The area this proposed project is going to pass through is one that I am PROUD to call home. The impact this will bring to the most beutiful scenery in new england will last forever with a negative impact.
  • Dorothy Chesnaabout 11 years ago Worcester MA
    Take a look. This nature and beauty is nearly depleted folks!
