ps Just like the wind turbines, I will consider them a work of art. Not science.

If those power lines reduce our subjectivity to foreign powers and our cost of living, then I believe they ARE BEAUTIFUL and an addition to any scenic view. And there are plenty of open spaces as or more scenic for the nostalgic.

Please don’t call the Sunrise Powerlink a “clean energy” project. It’s a power line and it can carry dirty power as easily as renewable power. If you dug a little more deeply, you’d see that the renewable energy involved is really a smokescreen. Sempra energy (SDG&E’s parent company) didn’t invest billions in LNG terminals, pipelines and gas-fired power plants in Baja not to use them. Now they want to get that dirty power, produced without following any of California’s environmental laws, to the market in Southern California, which is what this is all about. Please don’t be duped by SDG&E’s greenwashing.
