Been trying to find a minute to answer this - never comes...

There is a bumper sticker that says "Basslink is a Hoodwink".

It is a line of large above-ground pylons to take power from
Victoria's Latrobe Valley Browl Coal fired power stations at some
times, and bringing it back from Tasmania at other times. Most people
think "Aaaaha, Tasmania, Hydro, green". WRONG I gather it will be
produced from clearfelling old growth forests.

All because everyone wants to run an air conditioner in summer.

Apart from that - apparently the paint and water running off them etc
and other stuff on the pylons is enough to void NASA requirements for
certifictaion as an organic farm. So farmers are getting plyons on
their farms - whether they like it or not, as our state and federal
governemnt is legislating so that a PRIVATE COMPANY has a right to
walk onto farms for their own private gain.

I know it is a matter of great concern with the Basslink pylons going
in near here that several farms which are NASAA certified for milk
production will lose their status due to the chemicals comining onto
the farms.

Just curious. What are Basslink pylons and what chemicals do they produce?
