What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

San Diego Gas & Electric Company is seeking approval from the California Public Utilities Commission for a 500-kilovolt transmission line project affecting Imperial County and San Diego County. Following community opposition to the original route, SDG&E released three alternative routes. The preferred line, estimated to cost $1.6 billion, would be 135 to 145 miles long and run through Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
