Small world. We live a few towns over from Purcellville and have a house in Davis. Loosely know of the company and family. Good people. Hope they can navigate a solution, just not in this (Davis/Thomas) location.

I find it interesting this company has applied for a permit to construct a very large power plant when clearly they have no experience, or so it seems, with projects of this type and scale. They are not the land owner either, since West Pocahontas Properties LP appears to do so. How can Fundamental Data propose a power plant on property they don't own or control? I think local residents need to hire an experienced land attorney who can help unravel the mystery and find fault with the application. This 1650MW power plant could power literally many dozens of data centers...which in my opinion, should be located almost anywhere but here. Just think, oil tanks with 30,000,000 gallons of diesel oil which would require over 3,000 large oil trucks to fill just once. Data centers provide few permanent jobs and could take away from our tourist based economy.
