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.
Every summer my family would come to New Hampshire for summer vacation. I have wonderful memories of the time spent there. The views are breath taking and I love it there. It would be a travesty to destroy natures true beauty. Please don't do it!!!!

I hike the Whites and love them the way they are ! Hands off !

I have been visiting the White Mountains since I was a child.The landscape of the White Mountains would change if the Northern pass goes through. There are plenty of other resources that can be utilized such as wind and solar power.

The mountains are more important than money!

We can not allow the Northern Pass to destroy the beauty of New Hampshire. Any benefits of this project are far outweighed by the negatives!

I write this note after hiking down from the summit of your Mt Lafayette, with its beautiful views in all directions. The hike is the highlight of our annual visit to New Hampshire. I agree with many others: bury it, or abandon it.
Tim O'Mearaabout 12 years ago Concord NH
I like the beauty of New Hampshire.

To preserve the natural beauty of our fine state. Once it is done, it can never be undone and our state will never be the same.

Now that i'm a tourist to NH (formerly a 20 year resident), I choose where to spend my vacation time. these excessive towers thru NH's most beautiful places discourage me to visit NH.
Sheila Welchabout 12 years ago Exeter NH
With all the expenses users are asked to bear to increase green energy, we and the suppliers certainly can afford the cost of burying transmission lines through ecologically and scenically important areas.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ONLY HAS ONE THING GOING FOR IT: ITS NATURAL BEAUTY!!!!!!!!
