So, interesting developments on the power front. Seems that the Department of Emery has adopted new legislation and policy to allow power companies stronger posturing in deciding where to put transmission lines.
By entertaining thoughts on a "National Transmission Corridor", DOE effectivley gives power companies eminent domain privilege over property owners, and can actually bypass State laws and regulations.
Be aware this is a new battle for the property owners, in such as a private company can take your land if in the National Interest.
What land areas are in the National Interest? Most of the Mid-Atlantic and the State of California.
You can learn more of the Draft DOE policy here DRAFT National Interest Transmission Corridor
For those of you in the Piedmont area of Virginia, may I suggest the PEC website for information.
On a personal note, I am all about property owners rights, states rights, and the national interest, followed by private and public entities.
