Governor Morrisey’s “nation’s battery” vision depends on this connection. The project isn’t just about land—it’s about easing grid congestion driven by booming data centers, boosting market access for West Virginia’s power plants, and strengthening local economies. Rejecting it ignores the reality that staying connected is key to prosperity. The real debate should be about route improvements and fair compensation, not pretending the grid’s needs don’t exist.
