Anatomy of rural opposition to transmission lines
Rural Texans are mounting opposition to a high voltage transmission line in Central and West Texas. It is said that the transmission line will be the first 765-kilovolt power line in Texas.
Opposition concerns focus on natural resources like “pristine rivers”, impact to ranch lands, the fragmentation of family properties, harm to the tourism-based economy, and depressing land values, while providing no local electricity benefits to the properties in its path, and the deep digging required that will impact wildlife and the water table.
