Our Page 1 story last week on the preferred route of a proposed energy tranmission line received many comments
Anastasia Beaverhausen wrote: If we really want these renewable projects to be successful, and we need to invest in a redeveloped transmission grid, then NOW is the only time to ensure that our governments make the proper upfront investment in undergrounding. It’s viable, safer, and more resilient to extreme weather events. When they ran transmission into Sydney recently they ran it through many kilometres of suburbs underground. City people don’t have to have massive transmission lines overhead, so why do we?
Cass Rochaix wrote: Respecting people, their livelihoods and the opportunity to farm on prime agricultural land should be front and centre. For this to occur, it is unquestionable that these lines must go underground and the terminal station should be placed in an industrial zone.
WJ Elsworth wrote: Build back better. Put all transmission lines underground to mitigate against catastrophic climate weather events. Catastrophic Climate weather events down the eastern seaboard in recent years has had a detrimental impact on electrical infrastructure.
Gordon Sholl wrote: Here’s the go. If you had the choice of transmission lines above ground. Or below ground. What would you choose?
