They do complain about those, Germany desperately needs a connector from north (off-shore windparks) to the south (Bavarian industry), but it is not getting done because people don't like the idea of seeing the practical necessities that make their modern lives possible.
- martin_a 4y agoAt some point, we'll just cut power to Bavaria and see how long their candle reserves last. Then the north-south line will happen. :-D
- universa1 4y agoiirc(!!!!) parts of the transmission line is planned as "earth" cable, so there will be no poles. This is going to be more expensive and you need to dig trenches(? not sure it is the correct word) in something like a 80-100m wide path. Again iirc(!), line operators get a guaranteed return of 8%, while land-owners get a low one-time payment. And maybe the crisis will finally push this, but my guess is, this will take plenty more years until finally being built fully.
- turbinerneiter 4y agoYeah, the earth cables are pretty insane, I think they came up with that to overcome the opposition. They are expensive, but I also don't hate it. If we can reduce the impact of infrastructure on people, we should do it.
