  • I'm guessing you are using dirty coal. Am I right? I'm guessing that even if you have dumped 30 g's on a windmill, it isn't enough to get off the grid. So your electric used to respond is powered by dirty coal. Is that hypocritical?

  • When the only choice (short of me creating my own electricity) is what is provided by the burning of coal I have no other choices than to use what is there. I am assuming that as someone who is obviously into being healthy you would like to see cleaner alternatives to how we currently provide electricity. I am working to maybe help make a change in how our society moves forward in how it creates and delivers energy. What are you doing?

  • The lady who speaks about the closeness of the line to the schools. Well both schools were built after the existing 500 line was already there.

  • Again kiarnate your logic is flawless. Once we know something is bad we should continue to keep doing the same thing?

  • It is no longer possible for power companies and governments to ignore the overwhelming evidence that overhead high voltage power lines pose a serious health risk to those who live, work or attend school near these lines.

  • Well, I'm taking in both sides and waiting for the line to come. Yes I can see that the lines aren't wanted by a lot of people in Jefferson Co. and others that I don't hear as much about, but I feel that a lot of these people are taking any negative possibility and treating it like it's gospel. I also don't like the NIMBY philosophy that some have adopted. It's fine to screw others for their power but they won't give up anything for others. It goes both ways in my book. Get help, give help.

  • I agree. Say NO to PATH.  There is NO benefit to West Virgina. There are no exits, higher electric bills, for just a handful of jobs.. Thanks to all the people that JUST SAY NO!!!!

  • I'm glad you put this video up. My family lives in Upshur County and they're proposing running that damn thing right through the southern end of our county. They're fighting it too. I say keep all that crap out of WV. I'm sick of people making $ on the backs of WV'ians!
