This - saw a documentary a few years ago where they were discussing this very issue. Far more expensive and a huge swathe of land needs to be cleared and then prepared. Cable carrying that sort of power cannot just be put in the ground like a cable TV feed. Proper ducting and insulation need to be installed and the cables will be further apart than if on pylons. Being up in the air helps with cooling etc. Also maintenance/repairs are easier than having to dig up whole section of land. It’s a case of the lesser of 2 evils.
It was like that when I got here vicar sergeant.
But they are made in Italy though. They should be going for the slave labour angle.
It’s almost like he’s given up.
Personally I think they are both too old but the Dems should have put up somebody with a bit of fire in them. Really shown that they are serious.
Am from UK but taking a close interest here as it’s not just the US this will affect. It has repercussions around the world. The slimy git Farage got in here because of his trumpist views, and has emboldened him and his followers.
