DOE Affirms NIETC Designation
The DOE issued its ruling confirming the inclusion of 52 Pennsylvania counties in the euphemistically named Mid-Atlantic "National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor". This newly conferred federal regulatory power will usurp traditional state regulation of electric transmission lines.
This corridor designation will force huge new interstate high voltage lines upon the Pennsylvania landscape through the heavy handed use of new eminent domain powers.
The threat to Pennsylvania is immense: two-thirds of the Commonwealth has been designated as part of the Mid-Atlantic National Electric Transmission Corridor. The red shaded areas in the NIETC Map issued by DOE show the 52 Pennsylvania counties included in the corridor.
