'Beauty or Beast, that is the question?'
Saw the light striking the 400k volt lines as I travelled past these pylons which are on the outskirts of our village. They have been with us since 1971 carrying electricity from the Wylfa Nuclear Power Station to the Pentir Sub Station before being fed into the National Grid. News this week is that National Grid want to push on with a complete new set of pylons from the new Wylfa station which will be built and due to be online by about 2022 if I understand correctly. There was a great deal of objection to new pylons with many objectors demanding that the new supply be under grounded due to the environmental impact they have. The additional cost of under grounding was substantial and believed to be in the region of five times overhead. Stand by for protests and the like when the time comes for erection!! (of the pylons that is). Unfortunately we live in such a power hungry World that we cannot live without the power that they carry.
