Letter To Editor
Madam Editor:
There’s no doubt about it, we are all “Living Better Electrically.” Just a short time when the power fails and we know how dependent we have all become on electricity for, heat, water pumps, refrigeration, lights, even time stops. So, we have learned to overlook the wooden poles, transformers and wires which follow the highways, cross our fields and hook to our houses bringing welcome comfort and convenience to our lives. However, it is hard to overlook the high-voltage transmission lines needed to carry power from the generating plant to the area where the customers are with those big steel towers spaced along an unsightly slash in the landscape. Even at night, your car radio will let you know it’s there and common sense will let you know that it will be there for the comfort and convenience of future generations too, an enduring legacy of ugliness.
Are transmission lines necessary? Since high-voltage needs big, well-spaced wires, they seem to be. Is a transmission line across Rappahannock County necessary? You can bet that power company officials are prepared to tell us at the re-scheduled public hearing, $************^^
