Protesting transmission lines in Oklahoma

A proposed transmission line that would move Oklahoma Panhandle wind energy to suburban Tulsa is being protested by rural property owners and grassroots conservatives alike. Farmers and ranchers say that the impact to farm land will be devastating; there will be diminished property values from transmission lines; and the school funding will decline due to diminished property taxes. Grassroots protestors at the Oklahoma Capitol oppose green energy source of this transmission line project.
