The farmers act like they aren’t getting paid. NIMBYs for a piece of land no one wants

But it has to be “on just terms”. Otherwise they can suffer in their jocks.

what? do they want the transmission line to be zigzagging between farms or something? I will never understand nimbys. someone in the article said “no one in Victoria will benefit from this” what? will we not benefit from cheaper renewables? will we not benefit from the less likely bushfires? what kind of self-absorbed statement is that? not everyone in Victoria is a farmer that lives in a straight line from Melbourne to the SA border, it’s not like everyone in the state will have a transmission line on their farm. people always say “we need to do more on climate change” but then they support farmers like them.

You can still farm under powerlines.
You have a barrier of sorts, but grazing and cropping and horticulture, all can take place in all the bits that’s in the easement, except the foundations. Farms currently are productive under powerlines, you just have a whopping huge bunch of steel and cables running through it. Sure, It’s ugly, but it’s not destroying all the productivity.
