It will include a new mid-point substation in West Virginia. This project will cost 1.8 Billion dollars and the power companies will get a return of 14.3% yearly on every dollar they spend on the project. All customers throughout the region will be paying more on their utility bills in order to pay for this line. Though only 14% is planned to stay in MD, all MD residents will pay for the lines!
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke (1729-1797) "I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do." - Edward Everett Hale (1822 - 1909) |
