Miles and miles of pristine open space that has been stewarded by generations are threatened by a proposed power line called Mountain State Transmission Intertie (MSTI) in Southwest Montana and Idaho. I believe that open space deserves green equity with wind power. That is, the transmission line siting process must acknowledge the environmental values inherent in the open space that is degraded by thousands upon thousands of hulking transmission towers. I've been an Obama supporter and a lifelong environmentalist, but I've been shocked at how irresponsibly the transmission line aspect of the wind power has been implemented thus far. "Influencers," please, no blank check for transmission lines. I’ve got one comment I’d like the “influencers” to keep in mind.
