    Every Village thinks it’s a wonderful Holiday destination, burying the lines IS costly and inefficient and we pay all for it with interest through the Network Fees.

    We have Transmission lines Here too, and it’s still a very liveable Environment.

    Yes it’s NIMBYism

      Plenty of villages with economies which right-out rely on tourism, and plenty of space around those villages. As said: Many of those conflicts could have been avoided by collecting feedback before deciding on a route.

      Also: Would you rather pay more network fees or more for your electricity because insufficient interconnections cause price spikes on the local spot market? Burying a cable is a one-time investment, paying premium prices for electricity is a recurring cost.

      All I’m saying is that “Oh those evil NIMBYs” is a cop-out, if you plan and execute things properly you get YIMBYs. A master carpenter doesn’t blame their tools, a master planner doesn’t blame the population.
