The Potomac Appalachian Transmission Highline

A dirty project by American Electric and Allegheny Energy to run a 280 mile high powered 765 kv transmission line through WV.  This will be to run cheap coal electricity to other states who should be generating their own.  From what I hear, the governors of these states DO NOT even want the nasty coal fired energy. They want to explore wind options.  But nooo....these dirty power companies are trying to push this line through.  It will bring on 6-8 additional coal fired plants which will further destroy mountains and pollute the air.  It will also destroy private property.  There is no need for this.  The companies project "need" but it is not accurate.  They had to delay PATH for a year because they did not have adequate numbers.

So if looking at pictures of Mountain Top Removal, death and sickness rates, and polluted air and toxins, and the decimation of mountains - which face it - is WV's claim to fame isn't bad enough.   CLICK HERE to see what PATH will additionally do to 280 miles of landscape.  See firsthand the destruction of private property for the profit of companies.

Here are some pictures of the 200 foot Right of Way (ROW) that PATH wants on all the properties that it crosses
