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?

  • Michael and Marsha Bironabout 12 years ago Colebrook NH
    Our mountains and wilderness areas are so very important to the Great North Woods. Please do not let a foreign business destroy our legacy for our children and grandchildren.
  • Naomi Butterfieldabout 12 years ago Concord NH
    If a private company is permitted to use our state as a way to transport electricity for their profit the least they should be required to do is minimize the harm to NH. A large ugly foot print down the spine of our state should not be permitted.
  • Julia Cotterabout 12 years ago Bow NH
    Save our forests and bury the lines!
  • Rebecca Hattabout 12 years ago Las Vegas NV
    To preserve New Hampshire's pristine beauty why not bury the lines if this technology is readily available? We need to prevent the destruction of the critical habitats still left here and protect it for future generations!
  • Alden Van Sickleabout 12 years ago Holderness NH
    Because it's the right thing to do.
  • Kittie Wilsonabout 12 years ago New London NH
    Please save our precious White Mts from an ugly scar across their backs that will never be healed. They will change the Whites forever. NO NORTHERN PASS!!!!!
  • James Iannoneabout 12 years ago 17315 PA
    Dear Governor Hassan, I look forward to the day when I return to my home in NH. It truly is a special place that values and treasures its natural beauty; upon which it has built a significant part of its economy. Please bury the Lines.
  • David & Kathryn Mannethoabout 12 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    Income for the state and more jobs than building towers would create. Just bury it.
  • Ruth Ward 386 Route 123 Southabout 12 years ago ruthward@myfairpoint.net NH
    Dear Governor Hassan, I can't imagine these huge steel towers going across our beautiful mountain ridges, and valleys.Bury the towers, or NO towers.
  • Gerd Lutterabout 12 years ago Rumney NH
    it contradicts everything that New Hampshire represents. An eyesore that would affect tourism, property values, Ultimately it would affect the spirit of all those that make NH their home......
  • Shell Noyesabout 12 years ago Campton NH
    There's no need to be rapacious about energy production, transmission and consumption. This project promotes all 3 of the above. The better solutions that exist, should be explored and encouraged.
  • Carol Hendeeabout 12 years ago chichester NH
    The White Mts are beautiful-keep them as they are-burying the lines is doable
  • Roxanne Buschabout 12 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    To preserve the N.H. that I worked so hard to get to. Bury the lines or kill our economy for a private enterprise that only sees us as in the way of their corporate profit.
  • Marti Faulknerabout 12 years ago Dalton NH
    The preservation of the beauty of NH is our responsibility for generations to come.
  • Jeff Carterabout 12 years ago Sugar Hill NH
    I love the beauty of New Hampshire, which is why I purchased a vacation home here. Trashing the forests for this project is unnecessary
  • David Robyabout 12 years ago Lyme NH
    Power is important, of course, but there's no need to sacrifice our natural heritage to accommodate it. Let's bury the power lines and then we can have both.
  • Barbara Helmstetterabout 12 years ago Epping NH
    Our forests are treasures of NH. I don’t want them defaced by electrical towers.
  • cecilia aufieroabout 12 years ago enfield NH
    Why spoil something that is so rare and NH's truly Natural Resource. There are no benefits to NH from this over taking of the land.
  • Winifred Taylorabout 12 years ago Golden CO
    Because my heart is there, our old family home is in Franconia, We still cry about the Old Man.My ancestor Phillip Wheelock Ayres helped form tthe Society through its' infancy.
  • Leif Martinsonabout 12 years ago Northfield NH
    Thomas Edison saw the benefits of buried lines in the 1890's. It's the 21st century !!! Bury them, please.
  • Karen Wundermanabout 12 years ago Cranbury NJ
    I own houses in Franconia and Holderness and plan to retire to NH. Northern Pass will destroy NH's beauty, ecosystems, and tourism--forever. Please bury the lines or just say NO.
  • Julie Moranabout 12 years ago Colebrook NH
    We MUST preserve what we have so that those who have lost their wild areas to "development" can experience the wild areas still left.
  • peta brennanabout 12 years ago goshen NH
    Why destroy the scenery when it is that scenery that brings tourism to this state every year. If they are allowed to proceed w/o burying their lines it will be very a short sighted decision.
  • Stacie Winsorabout 12 years ago Rumney NH
    I want to preserve the beauty of NH
  • Greg McLeodabout 12 years ago Contoocook NH
    Sacrificing NH's beauty and natural resources for corporate profit is unacceptable.
