Block the Valley Link North Transmission Line
We are communities across West Virginia, Northern Virginia, and Western Maryland coming together to oppose the proposed Valley Link North transmission line and protect our farms, forests, scenic landscapes, conservation lands, and historic communities.
Understand what is at stake for all of us, and join your neighbors in taking action.
What Is Valley Link North?
The Valley Link North project is a massive, multi-billion-dollar corporate land grab that threatens to force a 765-kilovolt scar across 260 miles of the Mid-Atlantic landscape. Created by a coalition of the nation’s most powerful energy conglomerates, this heavy-industrial transmission line will tear directly through West Virginia, Northern Virginia, and Western Maryland to feed data centers. If approved, this mega-project will forcibly carve out sprawling industrial corridors through rural communities, family farms, pristine forests, and historic battlefields. Achieving this requires raising towering steel monoliths, bulldozing access roads, and stripping away natural vegetation — permanently seizing private property. While billionaire energy executives hide behind undefined "study corridors," communities across three states face the immediate threat of permanent environmental devastation, decimated property values, and the destruction of their historic landscapes and way of life.
Health & Safety Concerns
The Valley Link Transmission project brings significant long-term implications for our community's well-being and the local environment. Understanding these risks is crucial for our advocacy.
Electromagnetic Fields
Search the Internet and you'll find lots of concerns regarding chronic exposure to high-voltage electromagnetic radiation and its potential links to long-term health issues for residents living in proximity to the proposed line. You aren't going to find the research on this site. The bottom line is this: Why take a chance with yours or your loved ones health? Show me ONE Dominion, AEP, Valley Link, or TransSource company executive that lives under or even NEAR one of these 765KV power lines!
Acoustic Pollution
Have you listened to what a 765KV line sounds like 24 hours a day, 365 days a year ? It is horrifying! Click here for a little demonstration.
Ecological Impact
The bulldozing of over 6,300 acres is going to clear cut forests, meadows, native fields and crop lands, not to mention many front & back yards. I think we can all figure out that the impact and lasting scars of this project will be immense.
