“Unspoilt landscape” unless Amber Valley is ancient natural woodland it’s as man made as Sheffield. 1000s of years of farming will do that. These protest groups are funded on the sly by rich local landowners to drive up the amount of compensation they’ll get for the lines being on their land so they can fuck off, I want my power to stay on without killing the climate thanks.
The current pylons are at capacity, if we put more power through them they’ll melt. Buried lines are like 10x the cost to install and will mean digging up the countryside instead and then digging it up again for repairs instead of sending a bloke up a pylon on a harness. I think underground lines need substations every few miles too or they can’t work.
