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?

  • Diana Levyabout 11 years ago Center Sandwich NH
    ….because the Society for the Preservation of New Hampshire Forests says so!
  • Cynthia Wyattabout 11 years ago Milton NH
    New Hampshire is a beautiful state. The scenic landscapes are one of our most invaluable assets. Lets keep it that way for today and for tomorrow's generations.
  • gerry hawesabout 11 years ago gilmanton iiron works NH
    becausa I LIVE here!
  • Jim Salvucciabout 11 years ago Wollaston MA
    We have had a summer home at 24 Wildwood Av Bristol NH since 1943. Your policy, Governor, will destroy the beautiful Newfound Lake for no value. Maybe it's time to resign, since it is apparent to me you do not value NH and it's natural beauty.
  • Frederic Johnsonabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Why should our landscape be scarred to power Ct.?
  • Louise Morinabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    Need to keep the wilderness as pristine and natural for future use by recreationalist and nature enthusiastic
  • Lorraine Drakeabout 11 years ago New Durham NH
    We should be conserving energy, not building more power lines.
  • Leo Helmarabout 11 years ago Arlington MA
    I love the beauty of New Hampshire it is my place to go for serenity and peaceful hiking. To mention a few happy things I want it to be there for my family and friends when I am gone.
  • John Metcalfabout 11 years ago Fitchburg MA
    the beauty of the world and New Hampshire depend on steps like these. Also it opens new inovations as to how they can get their oil to market.
  • Norma Whitcombabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    I have been to other places but none compare with the natural beauty N.H. has. Please let the Northern Pass project be buried if we must have it or not at all.
  • catherine goldwaterabout 11 years ago hollis NH
    Northern Pass towers would be a terrible visual blight on our beautiful state! NH residents get minimal benefit from these towers, since the electricity is going south of NH.
  • Holly Craryabout 11 years ago Cambridge MA
    We must preserve forest land to prevent earth's atmosphere temperature from rising. We must continue to protect natural environments where we recharge in body and soul.
  • Jen Beeverabout 11 years ago Canoga Park NH
    I'm from Maine and grew up hiking in the White Mountains. My brother was in forestry management in New Hampshire. We need to preserve our wilderness.
  • Ken Cohenabout 11 years ago Brockton MA
    Use solar, wind, hydroelectric and transmit underground thru cities and towns NOT wilderness!!
  • Paula Strickonabout 11 years ago Lincoln NH
    The forests of NH are part of the reason I moved here. We are surrounded by wonderful vistas. Let's keep it that way.
  • William Boltonabout 11 years ago Plymouth NH
    NH's greatest asset is its natural beauty. We can't jeopardize that with the NP project. Bury the lines down the route 93 corridor.
  • CK Borgabout 11 years ago Concord NH
    High voltage transmission lines would completely alter the wild and scenic nature of Kinsman Ridge and surroundings!
  • Christopher Filliabout 11 years ago Averill Park NY
    I am an avid hiker and understand the importance of the aesthetic value of a beautiful view along a path in the woods. These steel towers would remove the natural feeling of these beautiful mountains.
  • Patrick Millerabout 11 years ago Campton NH
    Our economy depends upon a landscape without towers.
  • Carol Gerkenabout 11 years ago Meredith NH
    I am committed to preserving our naturals landscape
  • Gary Robertsonabout 11 years ago Gilford NH
    Hydro Quebec's power is not green, it is red with horrible manipulation of hydrology and no concern for native people. This is a bad deal for everybody, but if it is done right in New Hampshire at least one part of it will be okay.
  • Gale Maleskeyabout 11 years ago Bethlehem PA
    I love New England's beautiful and want to help to protect it.
  • Stephanie Lashabout 11 years ago Rockport ME
    Keep undisturbed lands that way!
  • Diane Vaillancourtabout 11 years ago Gardner MA
    You cannot replace the beauty of nature. Please do not destroy any more of this beautiful earth we were given.
  • Robert Coteabout 11 years ago Deerfield NH
    I am a life-long resident of NH and want the quality of life here to be maintained. There are better ways long-term than Northern Pass to provide energy.
