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?

  • Doris Blaneyabout 12 years ago Pittsburg NH
    A private, for profit - foreign affiliated - company should not be permitted to destroy the natural beauty of NH. There currently is no economic or energy benefit coming to NH - only destruction of our natural vistas.
  • Philip Chaseabout 12 years ago Whitefield NH
    Prevent unsightly towers
  • Marty Russoabout 12 years ago Franklin NH
    Not needed for NH. Won't lower elec rates here. Too many lies, bribes and promises that can't be kept. Still no NH energy plan to replace coal, nuclear and wood fired plants as they are outlawed and shut down.
  • Craig Mucherabout 12 years ago New Tripoli PA
    I love vacationing in and visiting NH and have spent several weeks there. There are definitely other options, such as conservation and renewable enery, to meet the energy demands.
  • James ALLENabout 12 years ago Versailles KY
    in search of cleaner energy sources and for conservation of our country's most precious resource, its natural beauty
  • Elaine Shryockabout 12 years ago Versailles KY
    to preserve the natural beauty of this country
  • Edward Hoyleabout 12 years ago Bethlehem NH
    In a state where residents happily pay a View Tax and the land and scenery is what we value, big ugly towers don't make sense when lines can be buried.
  • Rob Draperabout 12 years ago Westfield MA
    My brother and sister -in - law live in New Hampton. I helped them build their house; to preserve N.H.s beauty and prevent damage from extreme weather, please bury the lines. Thank you, Rob Draper
  • Jonah Jonah Minkoff-Zernabout 12 years ago Takoma Park MD
    I travel to New Hampshire and see tremendous beauty. That beauty is essential for the state and nothing could replace it.
  • Timothy Dugganabout 12 years ago Thornton NH
    We only get one chance to preserve the beauty of NH. Once it's gone, it's gone forever.
  • Steven Randabout 12 years ago Plymouth NH
    Burying the lines is a win-win, overhead lines is a win-loose. Which do you prefer?
  • Rodney Ekstromabout 12 years ago Rumneyu NH
    Our economy depends upon our natural landscape, and NH needs to take the long-view and have a real plan for our energy future. We must be good stewards of this land, and Northern Pass as currently visioned is a disastrous stewardship plan for our state.
  • Isaac Hunnewellabout 12 years ago Holderness NH
    Protect the natural beauty of NH's back country for all. And if we have the technology to do, which we do, then make those rich corporations pay to continue to be rich. Don't let them at the expense of our beloved New Hampshire.
  • Patricia Hageabout 12 years ago Plymouth NH
    NH forests and surrounding lands are too valuable to become just another corridor for power lines and accompanying environment damage.
  • Karen Grzesikabout 12 years ago Orange MA
    The White Mt area is a beautiful natural resource to be protected and kept natural. No artificial structures should mar this beauty! If allowed, bury structures, not mess up the area!
  • Nicholas Mignanelliabout 12 years ago Campton NH
    Let's keep New Hampshire, New Hampshire!
  • Irene osedaleabout 12 years ago Franconia NH
    Protecting the beauty of our region and not letting our state be used for others' financial gain.
  • Michael Fischlerabout 12 years ago holderness NH
    violation of rights and serenity
  • douglas evelynabout 12 years ago sugar hill NH
    We should protect this unique American region and environment for our grandchildren as others have protected it for us. Once lost it cannot be regained.
  • Susan Francescoabout 12 years ago Holderness NH
    Save our beautiful state. Views ARE important. Not needed to help NH - only will benefit others. Bury or Eliminate.
  • Jason Bridgeoabout 12 years ago Hollis NH
    Not to be cliche, but I was born, raised, and now live in NH. One of it's defining features is the beauty of its landscapes,Northern Pass will be a huge scar on that beauty, and it is not worth any amount of money to sacrifice our natural wonders for that.
  • Mike Briereabout 12 years ago Pelham NH
    I will be living in the New Found area soon. The beauty of the area is why I mam retiring here. I hope to pass it on to my son and grand son.
  • Sheryl Petraabout 12 years ago Manchester NH
    Do not ruin our pristine state. If you were going underground fine, but save our trees and hiking views!
  • Jacki Smithabout 12 years ago Franconia NH
    Ohhhh for soooo many reasons.
  • Kelsey Flyabout 12 years ago 02134 MA
    This is one of my absolute favorite areas to vacation and hike. Everything is so peaceful and mostly untouched. It would be heartbreaking to see this soiled by the Northern Pass.
