State officials still wary of power line plan
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. -- Eastern Panhandle residents and lawmakers like revisions made to a proposed high-voltage power line's planned route, but some still have concerns about the project.
Allegheny Energy held a public meeting Wednesday in Charles Town on its new plan for the Potomac Appalachian Transmission High Line, or PATH.
The line would run from Charleston to a new substation in Kemptown, Md., passing through portions of Virginia.

Report AbuseI know that this would be more work and cost more in the long run, but why don't they bury these lines. That way you dont see them, they last a whole lot longer because they arent degraded by the weather, and power is rarely interupted, being that weather is what usually causes the problem. You dont have to bury these lines very deep, and they are usually incased in cement, kind of like a small tunnel where you can access them to work on them.
