Farmers don't want high-voltage power lines near their farms

MARYSVILLE, Kan. (AP) A group of northeast Kansas residents is working to keep a high-voltage power line system away from their farms.

The so-called Grain Belt Express developed by Clean Line would transmit about 3,500 megawatts of electricity along 600 kilovolt lines from wind farms in southwest Kansas to Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The project still needs state approval.[KFDi FM 103]

I think the pro wind Cape farmers would have a solution to that. They would put it near someone else's property.

the pro-wind farmers in the cape could care less about the impact of high-voltage lines, turbines, or anything else on their farms. They would just as soon be forced to retire and live off the taxpayer subsidized projects.

Farming is such an "honest"days work!
