A very nice report: Town Of Haymarket Report – click to download (note it is big so give it minute – please also note that IE may have an issue but it works fine in Chrome – go figure) that shows what the Town Of Haymarket carefully considered before opposing the power line. While some of it is specific to the town, many of the observations apply to any of the proposed power line routes. One key point is they don’t accept the old “it cost too much to bury the line” … they claim it is old math. The following tries to show that above ground can become expensive if the weather crushes the towers. While the towers shown here are higher than Dominion currently plans for us they do demonstrate that cheaper has its expensive risks.
