"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."
"Her comments came after a report on a Maryland Christmas tree farm that's in the path of a proposed 67-mile transmission line that would power artificial intelligence data centers in northern Virginia. The idea of the $424 million project is devastating to some farmers who say they'll lose millions in land and business. The developer told Fox Business that without the transmission line, families face higher costs, grid congestion, and real risks to reliability."
"I've seen these; they are gross-looking, co-host Brian Brenberg said of the towers and transmission lines. This farm is going to lose all of its aesthetic appeal as a part of this. McDowell concluded, Everybody needs to get on board. I just don't You know what? Buy a fake tree! The show's co-hosts groaned at the suggestion, with Brenberg exclaiming, A dagger in my heart! I have a fake tree! McDowell said over the disapproval. I know, I can't afford the tree!"
A proposed 67-mile, $424 million transmission line would run through a Maryland Christmas tree farm to bring power to artificial intelligence data centers in northern Virginia. Some farmers say the project would cost them millions in land and business and destroy the farm's aesthetic appeal. The developer warned that without the line families could face higher costs, grid congestion, and reliability risks. Fox Business host Dagen McDowell framed the need as economic growth rather than AI, suggested buying fake trees, and contrasted tree farming with potential solar development on the land. Co-hosts reacted with visible dismay.
