I do some consulting work with Virginians for Sensible Energy Policies, a group that is particularly concerned about by a proposal by Dominion to construct these proposed high-voltage transmission lines, seizing private property and creating a forty-mile scar across the Piedmont in the process.

Our group encourages Dominion power to seek energy alternatives and wants the state of Virginia to adopt energy policies that encourage energy efficiency.
