There is another way. If someone is going to "ram this through" then negotiate for $5 million per year per 500-kV line, with $10 million paid to you UP-FRONT! There are people out there that can arrive at a value that you can extract from Georgia Power & Light for the use (not ownership) of your property.
In addition, (1) you want you and your families health monitored annually with Georgia Power paying the bill for this, and (2) you want your cattle's health evaluated by a veterinarian every year at Georgia Powers expense. If you or your family's health is negatively impacted or if the veterinarian determines that the health of your cattle has been impacted, then you need an exit clause of this contract AND/OR a large settlement.
This is the way. As long as the landowner isn’t too greedy they can most likely turn it into generational income for their family. The land will be claimed by imminent domain as the AI race is more about Gov world domination than Corp profits and national security will be used to uphold the taking of the land. Might as well try to get some kind of longevity out of it.
Don’t bother. All these data centers are being done by Gov request and imminent domain will be upheld due to national security reasons. The AI race is more about world domination than profits.
Can ya lease the easement? Gotta be worth something. Or you can tell them to go around your property. Ya know, electric transmission lines are hazardous to cattle as well as people. Get a good lawyer.
Really disgusting. I continue to be mystified over the scale of these data centers. I would love to see a comprehensive diagram and a power budget. It may be that---yep---they need to be THAT big. But I'd like to see the rationale. These things are beginning to sound and look like aluminum smelting operations. This is FAR larger than the dedicated computer centers I have been around.
As for the power lines, if it is the standard long-distance three-phase kind of line with aluminum truss suspension towers, they are large and obvious, but otherwise silent and innocuous. There is a major power line right-of-way extending out of my town across rural properties having livestock and families. In 40+ years of dwelling here, I've never heard of any problems.
NEW STUDY: POWER LINES LINKED TO BRAIN TUMORS
May 28, 2020 | 0 comments
The journal Environmental Research has published a new study entitled “Residential proximity to power lines and risk of brain tumor in the general population” which found an increased risk of brain tumors was associated with living near power lines. Powerlines are a source of residential exposure to magnetic field electromagnetic radiation (EMF) and repeated research studies for decades have associated magnetic field power-line frequency ELF-EMF from power lines to a type of childhood leukemia.
In 2001 the International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that exposure to power-line frequency ELF-EMF is a “possible” human carcinogen- a decision based largely evidence of an increased risk for childhood leukemias with residential exposure .
Kaiser Permanente researchers have published several studies linking pregnant women’s exposure to magnetic field electromagnetic fields to not only increased miscarriage and but also increased ADHD, obesity and asthma in the woman’s prenatally exposed children.
Two published studies by the Ramazzini Institute “Carcinogenic Synergism of S-50 Hz MF Plus Formaldehyde in Rats” (2016) and “Life-span exposure to sinusoidal-50 Hz magnetic field and acute low-dose γ radiation induce carcinogenic effects in Sprague-Dawley rats” (2016) found that ELF exposed rats had statistically significant increased incidence of several type of malignant tumors when combined with a known carcinogen.
Over a dozen countries already have some level of protective policy in place regarding this type of electromagnetic radiation. The countries of Croatia, Finland, France, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Belgium (Wallonia, Flanders) Denmark, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Lithuania, Poland have a magnetic field radiation limit for “sensitive areas” far far lower than ICNIRP. Sensitive areas are generally defined as areas where children live and play such as schools, kindergartens or recreation areas. Sometimes the definition includes hospitals and residential areas. These countries’ magnetic field EMF limits are 3 or 4 milligauss, the level of milligauss associated with childhood leukemia in repeated published studies. However ICNIRP recommends a residential magnetic field exposure limit of 2,000 milligauss (mG) and an occupational exposure limit of 10,000 mG.
The United States has no limit on legal levels of milligauss electromagnetic radiation. However the California Department of Education enacted a regulation to require minimum distances between new schools and the edge of a transmission line “right-of-way.”
People need to wake up about these "data centers". They are intended to replace the carbon/global warming scam- which essentially was a way to tax every breath you take
Data centers will bill you for every electron you want or need.
They need to be constructed as public utilities...especially with respect to the vast amounts of electricity and water they require to operate.

This anon smarts.
Is there a fund available to help fight this aggressive expansion?

Beast system.
Looks like georgia power will have to find another way. They should have though of T lines before choosing their site
Haggle for top dollar for the easement and require the cable be buried.
Haggle for free power for your home, then let just the necessary few poles settle.
Omg. This is standard.
This is not exclusive to data centers.
They want the land to run power and pay him for it.
If he doesn't hurry, his neighbor will collect instead of him.

High tension power lines cause cancer. EMF from home voltage can also cause health issues.
