Aerial maps showing the possible routes for a controversial interstate power line project are now available online.
Allegheny Energy and American Electric Power want to build a power-distribution network stretching 244 miles from St. Albans, near Charleston, to a Bedington substation near Martinsburg.
Another 46 miles of lines would travel from there to a substation in Kemptown, Maryland.
The utilities say the Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline, or PATH, is needed to prevent blackouts.
But opponents have launched their own Website. Citizens Against Path are also online. They say residents of Morgan County would suffer all the negatives of the construction but share none of the positives.

THIS POWER LINE HAS VERY LITTLE TO OFFER THE RESIDENTS OF WV., IT'S TO BENEFIT THE POPULATION ON THE EAST COAST AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR CITIZENS. IT WILL DESTROY OUR LANDSCAPE, PROPERTY AND HOMES, AND DESTROY MUCH WILDLIFE HABITAT. SAY NO!!!!!
