When are they going to start telling the truth about the environmental impact of this project? No one is standing up for the citizens of WV. If Maryland needs more more power then let them build the power plant in their own state instead of building it in WV and running the lines through WV. Why should West Virginians pay more for their power only to benefit MD? This whole thing is bullshit!
