West Virginia landowners oppose power line for Northern Virginia data centers

Rural West Virginia landowners, including Erica Reiner, are actively opposing the ValleyLink North power line project. This ultra-high-voltage transmission line is planned to cross 200 miles of West Virginia countryside, including private farms, to address the immense electricity demands of data centers in Loudoun County, Virginia. Opponents, organized by groups like West Virginians Against Transmission Injustice, are fighting against the potential use of eminent domain and the environmental impact of the massive towers.
