Potomac Appalachian Transmission Highline (PATH)

PATH was suspended Feb. 28th, 2011! Read more here.

This high-voltage interstate transmission line proposal would cost consumers $2.1 billion to build. If built, the lines would enable some of the dirtiest coal plants in the nation to ramp up production and greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed PATH line would start at the John Amos substation and travel through West Virginia, Northern Virginia, and Maryland, marring our countryside and half a dozen national and state parks and protected areas.
