Off the land EP4 Powerlines in my backyard audio podcast

from Off the Land with Rob · host Rob from Farming and Outdoors

Off the Land — Ep. 4: Reckless Renewables — An Affected Farmer’s PerspectiveIn this episode I share our firsthand experience with a proposed high-voltage transmission corridor through our farm and the toll the renewables rollout can take on rural landholders. From a single envelope pegged to our cattle grid to compulsory-acquisition threats, misleading compensation, bungled consultation, and the risk of massive decommissioning bills — this is the local context those shiny brochures don’t show. I walk through the meetings, the broken promises, the numbers, and why we finally breathed a sigh of relief when the route was moved — but only so another community could face the same fight.If you value on‑the‑ground perspective on energy projects, watch the video for the receipts (emails, brochures, maps) and decide: greater good or mansplain to the countryside?
