Has anybody dealt with Entergy Corp. on power line easements? Got a call from someone doing land acquisition for Entergy on a power line going up about 150 ft from my house.

As in high tension transmission lines? Too close!

 

[wngrog]

Sell them the right of way. They gonna take anyway

 

[SHUSH]

yeah...that's like sleeping with a microwave on your nightstand

115v is what guy said. It's going to be a single concrete or steel pole with a 100 foot wide swath cut from the woods with 50 feet being on my property line and 50 feet on neighbors land which is just used for hunting.

There is no credible science showing serious risk to health but there are anecdotal links to increased rates of cancer; particularly leukemia. Most science points to the fact that we get greater exposure from our TV's and microwaves than we do from overhead power lines. Unfortunately, they DO impact property value with estimates ranging from 10-20% as the "norm".

That sucks!

Well I haven't said yes yet. They have no easement rights yet but they can always do eminent domain. Off to call my lawyer.

He didn't use the description "extension cord" during your conversation, did he?

I think he may have left a 'k' out.

It's not the volts that get you. It's the amps. The AAAMPS man!!

Guy I was talking to is a land guy/ sales guy who doesn't even work for entergy. He probably has no idea how electricity works.

I went by to check out Greg's new place today. That is one cool spot. Jrob did some trick work to get the gas and the HVAC going.

There were people all over the place. Beehive of activity. Cool spot. Looking forward to watching this all go down.

Even for over ten times the money, it's still slower to 60 than a Nissan GT-R.....
