    This person makes really beautiful digital art that features a lot of power lines. I think it’s really cool. Example:

      While they do affect the skyline, i find them kind of a great. Its like wind turbines, they serve a very easy to understand purpose and exist for everyone while having only little environmental impact and lasting a lomg ass time. Compared to infrastructure like starlink which will only ever serve a few people, obstructs the entire sky for everyone from any angle and will only function for a few(5) years before having to be replaced.

        If they’re properly maintained… fucking PG&E!

      I think the long distance transmission lines are kind of neat. They often become roosts for hawks and eagles here, gives you a chance to see some nature near the city.

      The linked comic is ugly as sin though, that’s a high voltage rat nest. And I’m sure there’s a happy medium to be found with that sort of electrical pole, but it doesn’t give me the feeling of serenity that the high tension towers do.

      Underground transformers seem to be the better approach for denser connectivity

      For over a decade every one of my wallpapers was an Aenami piece. They’re just so dang cool.
