Abstract :
The confused and conflicting state of environmental criteria for transmission lines is discussed. The demands thrust upon electric utilities by pressure groups and legislation provide unsatisfactory guidance for environmental considerations. Environmental considerations are necessary for transmision lines, but realistic, flexible rules must be developed to balance protection of the ecology and the need for electrical energy.
