#supergrid

Note: This article is about Australia, but it’s pretty much the same issue anywhere you go, whether australia, india, or the US: People don’t wan’t powerlines or or near their property.

The problem is that we absolutely need it to achieve net zero.

most of the people affected are farmers, who have complained that it messes with crops (which has no scientific support, at least not yet) and that it looks bad (which can also sometimes affect revenue if their farms are being used for cabins, events, etc.)

On the other hand: we have the oncoming destruction of the biosphere.

In this article, many of the farmers complained that there was insufficient reward for the use of their property, and I think that is a super fair claim and they should be reimbursed well. However, many seem to be just against it in principle, regardless of compensation. They feel they have a right to their land, and that completely demolishes every else’s right to a livable planet. 

Windy Wednesday: The Supergrid

From SolarFeeds.com, 2013. Link below. NOTE:Images here are impressions of a European supergrid rather than actual plans though they do tend to plot the same routes. I suspect Brexit is the only event to have changed some of the options. I am not sure there’s a concrete plan, rather I imagine the grid will progress depending on planning opportunities Heres a little on what I’ve learned since…

I’m looking forward to finally watching Supergrid this morning.
