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.
The income of our incredible communities in NH is mostly based upon tourism. The dead last thing we want is for our beautiful ridges to be littered with high voltage lines and towers. They will negatively impact the incomes of our communities.

N.H. Doesn't need northern pass. If are fore fathers hadn't had the fore sight to protect what makes its state so great big business would have destroyed it already. Don't let them do it now. Make a stand

I will support your conservation Programs right after AMC pays for its own rescues . and stops being a continuous burdon to all the other users of the National Forest

As a hiker and a naturalist, destruction of this beautiful area of our world destroy part of our heritage.

The woods of New Hampshire are a truly special place
Keith Rayeskiabout 12 years ago Nottingham NH
You can not "compromise" BACK, what you destroy. It will create scars that will never heal in our great north woods. Like throwing acid in the face of a beautiful woman, it will NEVER be as beautiful again!
Edward Craxtonabout 12 years ago Dalton NH
So our grandchildren can enjoy the same pristine views we enjoy today.
Colleen Richardsabout 12 years ago Derry NH
Our state is beautiful, we shouldn't have to deface it so Hydro Quebec can make millions selling energy to states that waste what energy they have. They will not pass through NH without scarring it.

I really care about my countries preservation as I enjoy vacationing in New England!
Nina Bonneyabout 12 years ago Pembroke NH
New Hampshire deserves better than to have its landscape spoiled.
Daniel Dockham Jr.about 12 years ago Gilmanton NH
I have a deep appreciation for our wilderness areas and
would hate to see them scarred by those transmission lines.
Jeanne Severdijaabout 12 years ago Brewster MA
I love the White Mountains and the remoteness of it's hiking trails. The essence of a natural scenery will be marred by transmission lines. Tourism dollars will exceed energy dollars as people learn the value, and seek out naturally beautiful places.
Ruth Roweabout 12 years ago Wingate NC
Areas without power lines are rare and they need to be protected.
James Sleckman about 12 years ago Southold NY
The utility poles will destroy the tranquil environment of NH.

At some point in your life you need to stand up for what you believe in and stop sitting on the sidelines.

I HAVE SEEN THE HYDRO QUEBEC TOWERS IN QUEBEC AND THEY SCAR THE LANDSCAPE OF PRISTINE COUNTRY. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN IN NH
Jay Peabodyabout 12 years ago Lisbon NH
Why wouldn't it?
Art Flescherabout 12 years ago Franconia NH
Because we're moving to the mountains for its beauty and can not sit back quietly and allow this gift of nature to be destroyed.
Gene Hornsbyabout 12 years ago Pembroke NH
Once destroyed New Hampshire's forests will be difficult if not impossible to restore. I am committed to keeping my New Hampshire land undeveloped, I hope Northern Pass will be stopped so other land will not be destroyed.
Sally Barneyabout 12 years ago Pembroke MA
So many people enjoy the beauty that New Hampshire is blessed with. Please help to assure that this beauty is not trashed.
Paula Herbertabout 12 years ago Franconia NH
I live and work in northern New Hampshire because I like to enjoy fresh air and views of beautiful nature. Power lines should not be crisscrossing this gorgeous landscape.
Steve Sabreabout 12 years ago Easton NH
NP route through the North Country, White Mountains and WMNF will disrupt critical wildlife habitat for Canada Lynx and American Martin, Two listed species in NH.
Joan Cameron Gordon about 12 years ago New London NH
It's natural beauty is our small states' most important asset. It falls to us to preserve that for future generations.
They won't thank us for leaving the land scarred with ugly, dangerous, metal towers.
Donald Boyleabout 12 years ago Deerfield NH
It will ruin the scenic beauty of ,NH.All other New England states bury their lines and to top it off Nh will not be receiving any of the power.Northern Pass is showing their greed and lack of concern for the environment and the people of Nh
Dayna Flumerfeltabout 12 years ago Monroe NH
Part of what is so lovely about this area is the beauty we see around us. You can't put a price tag on it. And you can't destroy it with towers. I say NO.
