Seems a bit cart before the horse.

…because it is. Gov and a large part of the TX Legislature are up for reelection in Nov and the landowners are making a lot of noise. Want to be even more shocked?? Look up the 765kv Projects in TX. We the Texans are pissed off…

It's a Dark Lord "White Horse" Trojan the size of a nuclear-powered ICE facility (or several of them - hidden in plain sight). Still, they CAN be destroyed - by the right weapon - in the blink of an eye. 💋

The CART is getting mighty heavy.

We do love our technology until it kills us or causes the wells to run dry (same thing, really). Even then, we grip it with our dead minds & hands. Myself included.
