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

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...

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

Oh, bless his heart—Valley Link’s very own PR wizard, Rob Richardson, beaming like he just won the lottery while cheerfully admitting the obvious: Yes, Virginia, YOU will be paying for this shiny new transmission line.

Well, well, what do we have here? Valley Link’s very own PR Guru and lifelong Dominion Energy foot soldier, Rob Richardson , has deigned to join our little group! Rob, I’m genuinely shocked your tech overlords didn’t issue you the standard-issue “cloak of secrecy.”

“Hey, who’s actually footing the $1.1 billion dollar bill for this glorious transmission line?” Valley Link’s Rob Richardson lit up like he’d won the lottery and chirped, “Why, you all are, right there on your Dominion Energy bills!”
