The 'southern alternative' would be devastating for the federal public lands that have been the focus of so much work over the past decades. A southern allignment would: Cut in half the Hauser Canyon / Hauser Mountain federal wilderness and proposed wilderness complex, and cut in half the Eagle Peak proposed federal wilderness, including Eagle Peak, Sill Hill, No Name, Cedar Creek and San Diego River Gorge roadless areas. The impacts brought about by the 500 KV power lines and towers would destroy the wilderness value of these lands, and place them in great peril due to the associated roads, infrastructure and fire risk.

I was happy to see the article in the paper this morning,knowing the fight is never over. With the financial costs and carbon footprint of any transmission route and the related backcountry land grabs,taken for large scale renewables,we will need to push just as hard to stop the southern route. With SOCal Edison's project and Power's SmartEnergy 20/20 proposal's dissemination statewide,the correct path is surely visible. Is the CPUC too connected to Sacramento's leanings? I am joyous with the ALJ's decision but was curious what happened to ALJ #1,Steve Weismann? Will there be any type of celebration in the ramona/ranchita/borrego springs communities for this victory of sorts? Thanks again for your informative blog! ps I never made it up to Mt. Russell,we postponed a week and then a storm dumped a fair amount of snow on our proposed route. Larry
