Electric power is delivered largely through overhead transmission lines. We put up with the lines because without them our lights go out. But as John Doyle explains, the huge thirst for electricity of data centers in Loudon County, Virginia is proposed to be quenched by equally huge (160 feet!) transmission lines crossing several counties in the Eastern Panhandle, including Jefferson County. That electricity will not benefit our people, but it will take land and devalue the properties it passes through. This will be another example of West Virginia giving and getting nothing back, but grief. John cautions vigilance.
