Energy transmission (getting energy or it's fuels) from one place to another is vital for our society to function, however each type provides some challenges. At least a few offer some opportunities, if we care to take advantage of these options.
Decentralization not only reduces the amount of money fossil fuel companies can pocket from us, but also reduces our need for such infrastructure.
Communities, farms, companies, and individuals who produce their own energy, won't have the same need for massive cross-country nor international energy transmissions.
The following are listed alphabetically, not by impact or any other metric.
There are approximately 500,000 hectares of deforested land under powerlines, however this space can be used for rewilding, not with trees, but with wildflowers, or prairie and meadow strips.
Overview of Power Companies and Pollinators "For financial, health, and cultural reasons, serious declines in pollinator populations are causing global alarm. Many electric power companies are concerned about the decline in pollinators and would like to understand more about pollinator science, conservation opportunities, and associated costs and risks. Through management of large real estate assets, there is ecological potential to enhance pollinator habitat through well-designed, ecologically meaningful, and cost-effective actions on property that power companies manage. This technical brief provides an overview of pollinators, considerations for power companies, and an introduction to conservation strategies."
