the property; it “runs with the land."
The easement applies both to the landowner and to any third party who might seek to impose a prohibited use on the property - so the easement is both a restriction and a protection. <If the landowner can't build an industrial facility, no one can condemn the property as part of a new pipeline route.)
Question #2 - Neat! Can I give an easement to stop a proposed power line0
Not in Virginia. Once a new land use has been formally proposed, an easement will not be considered. But, if an easement has been granted to protect landscape or other resource values, the power line will have to go elsewhere.
Question #3 - Will these easements really hold up over time? Won't they some day be wiped out by political pressures and/or big money?
That's a complicated question that won't here be addressed in detail. Let’s just note that, nationwide, conservation easements have held up very well for about 40 years, and that will likely stay true so long as the U. S. Constitution continues in force.
