Golden to Mars Line Faces Legal Battle | Baltimore News

Dominion Energy’s $513 million “Golden to Mars” transmission line project in Loudoun County, Virginia, is moving forward despite fierce local opposition. The towering 185-foot lines, designed to power booming data centers, sparked protests from schools and supervisors demanding a pause to reassess routes — but the State Corporation Commission sided with Dominion, clearing the way for opponents to appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court. After initially choosing a route near schools — which the board rejected — and then opting for a “clearly inferior” alternative, the school board ironically accepted donated land that now puts school property in harm’s way. Residents are rallying to protect their communities and students, urging officials to prioritize the least disruptive path — even if it means challenging the status quo.
