Action: Virginia Property Owners: Joint Legal Counsel
Action: Virginia Property Owners: Prepare for the VA SCC Docket
Virginia private property owners that are impacted by the MARL/Gore-Doubs-GooseCreek and Valley Link transmission line are researching law firms for these cases - specifically to represent a group of property owners (joint intervenors) We are not a law firm and cannot guarrantee legal representation for all parties.
If you are interested in joining with other property owners to contract with a lawyer to represent your property interests in the cases at the Virginia SCC and subsequent appeals.
Once we have a group of people willing to share legal costs, I will contact each property owner by phone and work with a lawyer to create a contract for the group for these cases (joint intervenors). Each property owner would sign the contract and provide their portion of the initial funding.
Your Information will not be shared without your permission.

Action: Help us spread the word and get folks to sign the underground HVDC petition
The only viable alternative to overhead HVAC transmission lines that would preserve the value of private property, conservation easements, and national and state parks faced with the MARL/Gore-Doubs-Goose Creek and Valley Link transmission projects would be underground high-voltage direct current (HVDC).
It is feasible , it was proposed as an alternative to the PATH 765kV transmission line, in 2009, by Black & Vetch.
The cost for Underground HVDC has come done significantly since then and the installation space needed is even smaller. It can be installed underground along existing transmission easements or highway easements and has been used in multiple projects in the US.Read more about Underground HVDC here .
The mitigation costs of undergrounding these projects using HVDC could be paid for by data center taxes, data center impact fees or through new rate structures for large energy users such as data centers.

Help us get the word out by posting our petition on social media!
Download our flyer about these two projects and our proposed HVDC underground alternative and hand it out to your neighbours and friends in Loudoun, Frederick and Clarke counties in Virginia and encourage them to sign our petition!
HVDC underground is applicable to all of the proposed 500kV and 765kV projects in Virginia.
If underground HVDC technology is adapted it will save thousands of private property owners across Virginia form eminent domain easement takings for transmission lines to provide energy for data centers!

Action: Sign the Petition from West Virginian's Against Transmission Line Injustice
West Virginian's Against Transmission Line Injustice is leading the fight in West Virginia to oppose both the MARL/Gore-Doubs-Goose-Creek transmission line and the Valley Link transmission line. Two counties in West Virginia - Hampshire and Jefferson are impacted by both transmission lines . If both lines are approved, 17 Counties through West Virginia will be impacted by these HVAC transmission lines. Both lines require new 200' easements through West Virginia more than 6,000 acres of property would be taken to host these transmission lines, while West Virginian's receive no benefit at all.
