Welcome to Our Q & A Blog

Over the last several months, Halt The Power Lines has learned much about Xcel's intrusive proposal to add extra-high voltage power lines through suburban Denver. Many people have asked good questions ("Where else can the line run?," "Doesn't Xcel need these lines?"), and some have bought into falacious assumptions ("We all need energy, so we need these transmission lines.") So we're starting this feature to answer questions and take on misconceptions about electricity, transmission lines and Xcel's Pawnee-Daniels Transimission Line proposal that will run through neighborhoods, in Southeast Aurora, Parker and Douglas County.

We'll help get the truth out about this project, because unless we work together these aerial lines may shortly be coming to a neighborhood near you (maybe even your neighborhood).
