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.

This is a terrible project! There's nothing green about Hydro Quebec, and the project serves no tangible public need.

New Hampshire is it's Forrest's and outdoor beauty. Bury it or abandon the project.

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.

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.

Is there any forest left without power lines or industrial reminders?
Julie Morseabout 12 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.

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.

Conservation, not expansion, is the answer to our energy needs. New Hampshire's forests are a resource for all of us.

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.
