How to Influence Culpeper?

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: our neighbors in Stafford are currently battling the Kraken Loop (where do they come up with these names!!). Guess where that charming little 500KV bulldoze project is supposed to terminate? That’s right—YEAT. Somewhere deep in the bureaucratic swamp there’s a genius master planner cackling while funneling every last electron Virginia can muster straight to the data-center overlords. Adorable.

When the time comes, we do what any self-respecting republic would do in the face of this farce: flood Rt 29, Rt 522, Rt 15, Rt 3—every artery from every county getting robbed blind—and converge on the Culpeper BOS or Planning Commission meeting like it’s the world’s most polite invasion. Is this a grotesque perversion of the normal process? Absolutely. But let’s not pretend the normal process isn’t already a grotesque perversion: one tiny local board green-lights a data center and then Dominion Energy uses the state of Virginia via eminent domain for an ensuing land grab that screws not just their own locality, but half the state and three neighboring ones. All to feed 1960s-era transmission lines so Amazon and friends can keep their server farms humming. The scale of the confiscation is genuinely breathtaking—if you’re into that sort of thing.

Bring snacks. The freedom traffic jam is going to be glorious!
