So, this is just putting transmission lines over this property, McDowell began. I think that the United States would gladly saw off Maryland and kick it into the Atlantic Ocean if you don't like itThey're trying to blame AI, it's not AI, it's something else. It's called growth and development of business. She continued, If there is a need for electricity generation and a conduit like power lines to bring electricity to a densely populated area of business and growth like northern Virginia, then it is not about AI, it is about economic growth for the United States, number one. Number two, it is a tree farm, not growing food. The alternative would be, some liberals put some giant solar panels on that land, and you won't be growing any Christmas trees either.
