Waldo & Lyle, a leading Virginia property rights law firm, is hosting a free educational community meeting to discuss the proposed Valley Link transmission line and property owners’ rights under Virginia law. The event will cover key topics including:

Dominion is now referring to the proposed Yeat substation as “Culpeper Yeat.” The materials also show a reduction of some of the additional 765 kV lines into this substation…for now. Given the Culpeper Board of Supervisors’ 6–1 vote opposing the project, it would be appropriate for Dominion to attend the next County Board meeting to clearly communicate its intentions and answer questions from the community.

According to FOIA documents, the former Culpeper County Administrator and the Culpeper Director of Economic Development were aware of the Joshua Falls–Yeat project as early as August 2025. On August 4, 2025, a Dominion representative requested input from Culpeper planning to discuss and “inform the pending route alternatives.”

"We've been here for a long time fighting to keep our land." - Michael Carter Jr.

Based on publicly available records, the parcels most likely being considered for the Yeat substation in Culpeper County include Parcel ID 68-29 (approximately 306 acres) and Parcel ID 68-40 (approximately 142 acres), both owned by Pardee Virginia Timber LLC. These are large, contiguous forested tracts that represent not only local value, but part of a broader working forest system that has regional significance.

Last night’s Buckingham County Board of Supervisors meeting was a masterclass in bureaucratic paralysis—disappointing doesn’t even begin to cover it. Mercifully, we still have one actual adult in the room: Mr. Carter Allen from District 7, who played the role of lone hero and actually urged the Board to, you know, do something. He submitted a motion to drag the County Administrator and County Attorney into the fray, task them with monitoring this mess, hunting for legal, proc

The Orange County Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission treated Dominion Energy to a master-class public flogging Tuesday night—complete with the Valley Link/Dominion executives briefing on their charming plan to bulldoze a 200-foot-wide scar through historic farms and forests in a county that has fought for decades to retain it's rural character. First, a standing ovation for the supervisors and planning commissioners, who showed up armed, briefed, and ready to play

Shock of the century—one of our most ardent supporters unearthed this Facebook post from none other than country music star John Rich, dated Feb 16th, just about the time Valley Link dropped their mess in our laps. Turns out the Federal government, in its infinite generosity, has appointed him the official savior and citizen advocate for farmers, ranchers, and rural citizens getting abused and terrorized by energy companies (sound familiar?).

Oh, what a shocking development! The Goochland County Board of Supervisors is heroically turning a blind eye to the outright land grab barreling toward the western end of the county. While the very citizens they’re paid to represent are about to be plundered like it’s 1066, the county administrator and BOS have bravely declared a “neutral” stance on the Valley Link transmission line—because, bless their hearts, they “believe they can have no effect.”

The good folks of Buckingham county were kind enough to invite me to their community meeting yesterday afternoon. Cruising through central Virginia’s rolling hills in that perfect early-spring glow was a stark reminder: this isn’t some abstract policy spat—it’s a bulldozer aimed straight at people’s lives. The turnout was impressive—standing-room-only in a packed community center, with stations for route maps, petitions, sign-up sheets, and ready-made “No Trespassing” temp

Hey sheeple, today’s your last chance to grovel before the almighty overlords at FERC. They’re racing to slash the timeline for new power plants and transmission lines so they can ram their pet projects down everyone’s throats with zero pesky public pushback. How thoughtful!

Less than a week until the Orange County Board of Supervisors' Valley Link powerpoint show. They've bumped the venue to Orange County High School to handle the hordes of ecstatic supporters (check the attached map and this link for the excruciating details...

Here’s my pointed, zero-BS recommendation for those wondering how to influence the Culpeper Supervisors to kill the Yeat superstation dead: Pick up the phone. Calmly, quietly, and relentlessly call every single supervisor and politely (emphasis on polite) demand they reject this monstrosity outright. Keep notes—we’d all love to know exactly which ones are planning to vote YES for reference in future elections. Oh, and fun fact for the class...

Over the past several days we have been reviewing PJM planning materials related to the proposed Joshua Falls–Yeat transmission project, and a key issue has emerged involving the relocation of the Yeat substation. Moving the Yeat substation is not a minor adjustment. As we now understand, the original planning concept placed the Yeat facility in Fauquier County near existing transmission infrastructure...

Turns out the Yeat Substation, that crowning jewel at the northern end of the Valley Link Transmission debacle, named after some wealth flexing rapper no less, could actually be the silver bullet to kill this eyesore once and for all. Who knew? Apparently not me at first, but shockingly, those oh-so-powerful local planning commissions and boards of supervisors can actually veto these monstrosities. Just peek at Dominion Energy's dusty old maps: Yeat was originally slated for

Central Virginia is under attack. More than 2700 acres is at risk of being taken from our communities. Why ? Northern Virginia data centers.. Must-watch: A raw, powerful video straight from one of our fiercest die-hard supporters. No surprise — people backed into a corner are done cowering. They’re standing tall and pushing back hard.

Thank you so much Orange Citizens for filling out those no-trespass notices at the Land Grab seminar this week and actually trusting our ragtag crew to get them certified-mailed to Valley Link like we promised. We hauled them all to the local post office today and — plot twist — the poor woman behind the counter lit up because she’s been drowning in these exact letters. “A ton,” she said. A. Ton. Bravo, citizens! You’re not just sending mail, you’re apparently running a ful

Yeat has zero internet meme baggage — it’s just Valley Link/Dominion’s lazy corporate word salad for their shiny new 765-kV cash-vacuum hub near Richardsville in Culpeper. They slapped it on the “Joshua Falls to Yeat” docs, and boom: it’s now permanently welded to 200-foot-wide clear-cuts, 160-foot steel monsters every 1,200 feet, and that charming “eminent domain if you peasants don’t smile” clause. No acronym, no local lore, no hidden meaning. Just suits in a boardroom thro

Oh, look at that—the Valley Link hype machine finally cracked a window for some actual dissent instead of the usual Dominion-scripted fluff. This Cardinal News piece (March 12, 2026) lays out the basics of the $1 billion, 115-mile, 765-kV beast from the Lynchburg area (Joshua Falls substation) to Culpeper (future Yeat substation). It’ll stomp across nine counties—Appomattox to Spotsylvania—with 135–160-foot rusted steel lattice towers every 1,200 feet, 200-foot-wide rights-o

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is now accepting public comments until March 20 on proposed “rule changes” that would dramatically speed up approvals for large generation projects. If these changes go through, it will become far easier for developers to justify and fast-track new transmission lines—including the controversial Valley Link project we’ve been fighting. This is our chance to make our voices heard before the rules are locked in. Here’s what we n
