We are a group determined to prevent this power line. We are residents and property owners in Loudoun County, Virginia, united to OPPOSE ALL proposed PATH electric power across the county and surrounding areas. PATH has the right to cross over your land. Although they claim property owners will be compensated, there is no way to put a value on someones home, heritage or way of life. The natural beauty of Loduoun County, and especially Lovettsville, will forever be diminished. Towers of unprecedented height, over 100 feet, will unalterably change our landscape.

Public Policy Virginia is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation focused on changing the energy culture of the Commonwealth through grass-roots communication to promote policy change. PPV recognizes climate change as the single most important issue we face today, and to address that issue, we research, analyze, and communicate the facts about energy issues to policymakers and their constituents to influence the institution of progressive, beneficial ordinances, laws, and standards which will help us to make the changes necessary to deal with this issue.

The Space Power Association (SPA) is a private, international organization bringing technical and policy experts together to discuss, analyze, and advance the concept of Space Solar Power. Currently, the Space Power Association is part of the Sunsat Energy Council. The Sunsat Energy Council (SUNSAT) is an international, non-governmental organization affiliated with the United Nations. formed to disseminate information about space solar power systems.

The people involved in the Alliance have a track-record of breaking through the din of background noise on issues related to climate change. They also bring with them substantial cross-sectoral experience covering government (both public service and political), business (including energy, technology, finance and media), and civil society (within and beyond the environmental communities). We will be completely non-partisan in pursuing our mission.

The Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) is the first grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to fighting global warming in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Our mission is to educate and mobilize citizens of this region in a way that fosters a rapid societal switch to clean energy and energy-efficient products, thus joining similar efforts worldwide to slow and perhaps halt the dangerous trend of global warming.

The Society has been active in advancing the cause of renewable energy since 1954.

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is the national trade association for the solar industry. We work to expand markets, strengthen research and development, remove market barriers, and improve education and outreach for solar.

The Virginia Alternative and Renewable Energy Association (VA-AREA) promotes the development, commercialization and use of alternative and renewable energy to foster business and legislative climates where renewable and alternative forms of energy are utilized to meet the Commonwealth’s growing energy demands while improving its economy, environment and sustainability.

The Virginia Wind Energy Collaborative (VWEC) was established to educate the public and inform decision-makers about wind power development in Virginia, in support of the Commonwealth’s need for reliable and affordable energy, environmental quality, and economic development.

The We Campaign is a project of The Alliance for Climate Protection -- a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel laureate former Vice President Al Gore. Our ultimate aim is to halt global warming.

The U. S. Clean Heat and Power Association (USCHPA)and its members are committed to deploying efficient, low-polluting technologies throughout the country. The association advocates that combined heat and power receive recognition by U. S. federal, state and local governments as a key environmental and economic development strategy.

The Utility Wind Interest Group (UWIG) is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to accelerate the appropriate integration of wind power for utility applications through the coordinated efforts and actions of its members, in collaboration with public and private sector stakeholders. Membership is open to utilities and other entities that have an interest in wind generation.

Save Our Streams began in Maryland in 1969 with the goal of documenting pollution in the streams. A few years later, the Izaak Walton League of America took on the program, intending to make it national. Over time, the method of assessing the health of streams shifted from visual documentation to the monitoring of macroinvertebrates on the streambed. The Virginia chapter of Save Our Streams began in 1989, fostered by Karen Firehock, who successfully promoted the program with a focus on education. After a brief lull in leadership when she left, Jay Gilliam revived the program in 1994. Today, enhanced by numerous partnerships, VA SOS continues to grow.

Every hour, more energy from sunlight strikes the earth than the entire human population uses in a whole year. The sun's heat and light provide an abundant source of energy that can be harnessed in many ways. There are a variety of technologies that have been developed to take advantage of solar energy. These include concentrating solar power systems, passive solar heating and daylighting, photovoltaic systems to generate electricity, solar hot water, and solar process heat and space heating and cooling.

The West Virginia Division of Energy is responsible for the formulation and implementation of fossil, renewable and energy efficiency initiatives designed to advance energy resource development opportunities and provide energy services to businesses, communities and homeowners in West Virginia.
