Hampshire County

That is a high voltage transmission line that will connect a substation in Dunker Township, Pennsylvania, Greene County, Pennsylvania, to a connection point near Grove, Virginia.

That will pass through portions of Monongalia, Preston, Mineral, and Hampshire County's on the way to power a data center in Northern Virginia.

On the phone, we've got the president of West Virginians Against Transmission Line Injustice, and you can get more information about that group at WVATLI.org. Tony Campbell's with us.

Good morning, Tony.

And then the last three days were going to be individual landowners.

So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, I got to tell you, Mike, I like to thank the public service commissioners for what they did when they organized these, uh, testimonies, what they combined Mon and Preston County witnesses for Wednesday.

Hampshire County witnesses on Thursday and then Monroe County witnesses on Friday.

And I'm sure they did that in an attempt to make travel easier.

It's a massive claim to make, but again, if you look into it, it's quite compelling in some ways.

I mean, in terms of these elite societies and things, I was looking at a case called The Mountain That Swallowed the Little Boy, and it's a case of a boy called Victor Shoemaker, and he disappeared in 1994 in Hampshire County in West Virginia.

He was just playing with his cousins and he got really upset and he wanted to go back home to his grandparents.

He'd spent all his growing up in the woods.

West Virginia is a great example.

Hampshire County, they found CWD in 2004, 2005.

It hasn't spread all over West Virginia.

It's still pretty localized and contained, largely because deer in those landscapes just don't move a lot.
