-————How many power transmission lines get put up in areas that are completely visible for all to see. One after the other marching across the horizon.—————

The media hasn’t fearmongered about transmission lines spilling copper all over the place for the last 30 years.

Have they?

There’s no stigma attached to that. Yet.

They’re trying. But without their monopoly, I don’t expect much mileage.

Well, there was the big EMF media-induced panic of the 1980's and 1990's. Anything to support NIMBY-ism, I guess.

It's still a major, major undertaking to site and build a power transmission line. Go to one of the public meetings when a utility proposes building one, and see all the interesting commentary. People want the electricity, but they don't want the infrastructure that provides it.
