Actually, we aren't even sure as in VA Dominion has changed the proposed path of the transmission line likely in an attempt to quell opposition. I work with Virginians for Sensible Energy Policies (VSEP) and I think we both agree that this proposal to construct a 500,000volt transmission line through our states is unnecessary and irresponsible. Despite repeated requests, Dominion refuses to provide any proof or studies regarding their claims that the increased capacity is needed. We all know the true intent of this plan is to import energy through WV and VA up to the Northeast corridor to increase profits. So we, the customers and residents, must bear the cost, seizure of property, destruction of our land to line the pockets of our power companies. Additionally, as we all know they are only paying lip service to exploring alternatives and seriously promoting conservation and increased efficiency. Let's keep the pressure up. Thanks.
