This transmission line begins with coal, so all the talk about transmitting renewables in the future is unlikely. While I am not an expert capable of disputing or supporting the need for additional lines to carry electricity to New York, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, etc., I believe that Allegheny should be required to follow existing lines so that additional inhabited areas and green space would not need to be impacted. They have already stripped out the mountain line ... so use the same path or PATH!

I love the land of America. I think everyone is aware that conservation is important. There are just some things that need to be put on hold on their agendas until other means are available. Solar power, wind mills and all other alternatives will not show up on everyone's door step right away. Until they are available we need to drill and run lines to keep America lit up and running. We need a solid time frame for things to be phased in as others are phased out. If oil and power companies are afraid they will lose jobs and money if things are changed, then they should be the leaders with all that profit they make in the development of these new technologies. But, of course, once all the new technology is up and running, greed would probably once again have the new products outsourced to India or China. People better start investing into America, not their own pockets. You might wind up with an America much different then we now know one day. These conservationists need to realize they need to wait for what they want. Keep America trucking and running. That is what will get things on the right path. But, of course, with a plan in effect and as things changed, they wouldn't be needed anymore, now would they? It's the same old song and dance.
