Um, has anyone considered using *less* electricity as an option for
obviating the need for any route?
That is to say, have any of the utilities actually implemented a
"green pricing" scheme to reward those doing the right thing and
penalizing the gluttons?

Some on this list already know about the discussions regarding the
new high voltage power lines that are proposed for Dane County. For
those not aware, several state trails are possible corridors. Other
possible locations are along the Beltline, but through the
Arboretum, and south of Madison through rural areas.
If you are interested in learning more, there is an article in
today's State Journal that lists all the public meetings:

Also, here is the web page for American Transmission Company, the
company that will be putting in the power lines. The maps are a pain
to read, so not all that useful for figuring things out, but it
gives you an idea what the projects are about.

I got a notice of the May 23 & 25 meetings (not sure if because of
my elected position or as a Bike Fed employee.) Anyone can come to
those meetings, and they will be the first opportunity to see the
proposed routes. There will be more public open houses in June
around Madison, Fitchburg, Verona, Stoughton, and Oregon.
