RETA (Responsible Energy Transmission for Albertans) is having a HUGE townhall meeting at Rexall Place on November 24, 2009, at 7pm and is inviting everyone to attend. The meeting is intended to send a message about the proposed double circuit 500 kV power line around Edmonton. RETA wants the power lines to be buried instead of strung from huge towers that will either run along the east or west TUC (basically along the Anthony Henday) or further outside of Edmonton.
Whether or not you agree with the health and environmental issues associated with these types of powerlines, one thing is for certain - property values are affected by their proximity to power lines, especially monster power lines. If you're concerned about the proposed lines then go to Rexall on November 24 and share your opinion or send a letter to your MLA.
