Maryland Farm Bureau Asks Public Service Commission to Halt Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project
A contentious proposal to build a 70-mile network of overhead power lines across three Maryland counties has sparked concerns among residents, farmers, and environmental groups over its potential impact on the state's agricultural land and the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. The Maryland Farm Bureau is now urging the Public Service Commission to halt the project, citing significant discrepancies in PSEG's original timeline for completion and ongoing opposition from stakeholders who fear that the lines could harm family farms and natural habitats, ultimately raising questions about whether the project is viable or just a recipe for disaster.
