More than 40 people from Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia gathered to fight against the Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline project -- more commonly called PATH -- to keep the project out of all three states.

"It shouldn't be in anyone's back yard," Protester, Keryn Newman, sand. "It's not needed, the power is going to the northeast corner, they're taking coal-fired power out of West Virginia when we should be moving towards green technology."

Newman, and others at the demonstration, say that's one of the biggest issues -- that path could be supplementing power to New Jersey. But, when TV-3 Winchester News interviewed Michael Gogol on May 15th, he said that's not the case.

"We're trying to balance the energy needs for this region with the public interest," Gogol said. "And, we're trying to always balance that so we can come up with the best proposed route."

The demonstrators took up about a tenth of a mile of the side of the road on Rt. 340 on the West Virginia-Virginia state line. Plenty of cars drove by in the two hours they were out on the side of the street, hearing both cheers and jeers from those passing by.

"It's been very hard to get the word out," Newman said. "For about a year now [PATH] has been talking about it, they're not putting out the notice to the people, so we have become their notification system. A lot of people still don't know that path is going to run through their neighborhoods."

Some scenic neighborhoods like those around 340, which already have power lines running through them.

When TV-3 Winchester News talked with Gogol, he told us that he and his crew were still reviewing more than 3,000 letters offering suggestions to what should be done.

PATH is a proposed high-voltage power line that will span almost 300 miles through West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland.
