I wrote this blog and editorial, at the conclusion of the (WI) Middleton to Rockdale 345kv line when construction was approved by the PSC. Putting the line by my house or by someone else's house was not the argument. It is a matter of principle. The lines will go in, landowerners will not be paid fairly and there isn't much that anyone can do about it except promote conservation and common sense. http://annitawoz.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/636/ Powerlines and people are being forced to mix. It isn't pretty. but as you said, it isn't about looks, or they would not try to disguise their poles as large trees by using the metal weatherization "look" . instead, it is about safety, prudent avoidance, and the lack of a federal, state, local commitment to energy efficiency and conservation. I see you have some posts from SOUL on the early pages of your site- a wonderful organization btw. I agree this is about truth in campaign finance reform, and much truth that there is a difference between working together and working for the other (i.e. The WiPublic Service Commission and the ATC). I enjoy your posts, past and present, ChildGrower. It is painful to realize that common sense is trumped by the almighty dollar. Yet, it continues.
