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?

  • Don Dudleyabout 12 years ago Northfield NH
    Maybe this will confirm our heritage of caring for the forests is what is right, and more valuable the big business money.
  • Jennifer Wilsonabout 12 years ago New Boston NH
    My heart, my north
  • Rodney Burdetteabout 12 years ago Loudon NH
    Northern Pass will destroy the natural beauty of the parts of NH that it passes through
  • Michael Bettencourtabout 12 years ago Lyman NH
    terrible impact on our forests
  • Shaw Brownabout 12 years ago Franconia NH
    When we destroy our beautiful state for the benefit of others, what will our children be left with? Sprawl already takes its toll. The next generations deserve some consideration, more than a quick buck does...
  • Dennis Bouvierabout 12 years ago Blackstone MA
    I visit NH often and already see too many such towers obstructing the beautiful views I come to see. Power companies make plenty of profits. It's time they made some "sense".
  • Stacey Darlingtonabout 12 years ago Litchfield NH
    To preserve our beautiful state for future generations.
  • Steven Andersenabout 12 years ago Rochester NH
    Power lines are an ugly, antiquated and less reliable way to get power from point a to point b. Make them bury the lines for the good of our great state, the picturesque views and for our children. Don't let these corporate powerhouses have their way
  • Lynne Knoxabout 12 years ago Alton NH
    PLEASE listen to us...$$$ does not always have to prevail. Allow nature and our natural state to do so, for that is a major part of this state...balance.
  • Mary Nollabout 12 years ago Ossining NY
    I cherish the northern NH wilderness and think there is a workable compromise to finding energy relief without sacrificing what is left of the natural habitat and beauty of the area.
  • Richard Richard Broomeabout 12 years ago Bozeman MT
    We must preserve the beauty of New Hampshire.
  • Ruth Martinabout 12 years ago Bow NH
    To maintain the beauty of our wonderful state!!
  • Robin Ingalls-Fitzgeraldabout 12 years ago Bristol NH
    we don't need this
  • Lee Paquetteabout 12 years ago Bolton CT
    We often visit New Hampshire and the beautiful White Mountains. We don't need the electricity as much as we need New Hampshire to stay the way it is!
  • Doug MacFarlaneabout 12 years ago Thornton NH
    This project will ruin the natural beauty of NH.
  • Antoinette Trotzerabout 12 years ago Hampton NH
    When I go to the White Mountains I am enthralled by their beauty and renewed spiritually. We have to preserve some of the few places where nature is still untouched by human greed and commerce.
  • Stacia Martinabout 12 years ago Andover NH
    We need to protect our lands in New Hampshire and preserve them for our future and that of our children.
  • JUDITH RILEYabout 12 years ago LACONIA NH
    PRIVATE ENTERPRISE HAS NO LEGAL BASIS FOR TRESPASSING ON PERSONAL PROPERTY. NH NEEDS TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS AND ITS ENVIRONMENT.
  • Lynn Andrewskiabout 12 years ago Goffstown NH
    Our natural beauty in NH is very important to all of us here and all that come to visit.
  • Sally Delisaabout 12 years ago Marshfield MA
    My husband and I have spent many tourist dollars in NH. Our primary reason for choosing NH was for the beauty and pristine areas. Above ground utilities in that most beautiful of regions will spoil that sense of wonder forever!
  • Eileen Eileen Broderickabout 12 years ago Haverhill MA
    My family still lives in Lebanon NH I hike/bike and camp up there with the beauty of being able to look out at landscape/blue sky. NOT Power TOWERS. Stop them.
  • Gary Dottererabout 12 years ago PA PA
    Please find an alternate plan for transport of power of sensitive and high cliff area trailways. . Once you are up on the ridges the last object you want to be reminded of is man-made, commercial build-up in other wise pristine recreational areas.
  • Gloria Berberichabout 12 years ago Mineola NY
    The Northern Pass goes through areas where I go to get away from civilization. I do not want to see power lines. I want hills, trees, rocks, not high tiers carrying power lines.
  • Amy Bannonabout 12 years ago Bethlehem NH
    This is my backyard, where I escape to the woods to find solitude. Wires and towers will destroy that solitude for me, and everyone else who escapes to these mountains too.
  • Patricia Timburyabout 12 years ago Woodstock NH
    WMNF is a national treasure of tranquility. Let's tour, photo, hike or swim. URBAN MA NEEDS ELECTRICITY AND NEEDS THE WMNF.! USE AN URBAN CORRIDOR!! BURY THE LINES This important NH landscape and resource must be saved. STOP NORTHERN PASS.
