A Rally Against Allegheny Power's Giant New Power Lines

As some of you may be aware Allegheny Power is trying to get more power to the East Coast, not by building power plants there, but by building a gigantic set line of huge power lines that will cut across a swath of West Virginia, destroying a good bit of our land, to say nothing of our views, and of course adding more pollution to the state - all for a cause that doesn't benefit the state or its citizens in the slightest. Even our local right-wing rag (errr, newspaper) has been raging against this for weeks, and opposing it seems a political slamdunk - yet somehow these plans continue to move forward. I mean, wtf? Anyway, if you'd like to be part of the battle against this, there's a meeting of the Public Service Commission tomorrow night at 7pm at South Jr. High School (which is next to White Park in the First Ward section of Morgantown).
