u/EVRider81 Square slice? don't mind if I do.. 2d ago

Is this removal of older pylons an ongoing thing? Where I lived in Renfrew, there was a pylon on parkland near our house.. Streetview shows it's no longer there..

Tom Scott has an interesting video explaining why we need to move a lot of pylons. The grid needs to be reconfigured to take into account the change from power stations to wind farms.
