Capon Valley Coalition

What do we stand for?

Nothing less than the simple values of fairness and neighborliness.

• Communities that want power and need power should build the power plants they need in their own neighborhoods.

Are you listening, Washington?

This evening (Jan. 7, 2007), despite a miserable rain, more than 30 property and business owners from the Capon Springs-Yellow Spring-Wardensville met at the Yellow Spring Ruritan to exchange views and voice our opposition to proposals from out-of-state power companies to run yet another huge power transmission line through our communities.

These power lines benefit power sellers in Pennsylvania and power-hungry users in the Washington-Baltimore metro areas … but they do nothing for West Virginia’s beautiful Capon Valley but scar the landscape, harm our environment and damage our property values … and rob our children and descendants of their heritage.

Perhaps in the past, we acquiesced too easily. Not this time!

NOTE: (Updated Jan. 16, 2007) Join our effort to defeat this power line by emailing your name, address, phone number and email address (if you have one) to caponvalleycoalition@yahoo.com. We will use that information to send you updates.

There is NO FEE to join Capon Valley Coalition. This is an all-volunteer organization. At some point, we may ask for contributions, but we are not doing so now, and this is a free organization of concerned neighbors. We expect to keep it that way.
