This July, we need you to speak up against Dominion Energy’s illegally built transmission line along the James River.
Dominion wants you to think it’s too late to remove this huge power line at historic Jamestown. It’s not too late! Here’s why:
Just this March the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers illegally granted Dominion a permit to build the line. The court ordered the corps to conduct an environmental impact statement (EIS) to evaluate practical alternatives and their impacts — something we’ve sought for the past five years.
The required EIS process starts on July 17 with a public meeting in Williamsburg. And you’re invited!
There are reasonable alternatives to provide needed energy at a cheaper cost than the $430 million spent by Dominion on this ill-sited James River line. Join us at the meeting and tell the Corps we want an energy solution that provides electricity and respects our historic sites.
Bring your friends and family. Our national parks are too important to be overrun with inappropriate development.
