I recently traveled to Knickerbocker, Texas, outside of San Angelo, to talk with landowners who were concerned about a proposed transmission line that may affect their properties. Because of the short notice for the meeting, I did not have a PowerPoint presentation or any handouts for the meeting and wished as I traveled to the meeting that I had something that I could use during my talk.
A week later, when I was working on a transmission lines issues presentation for the University of Texas Continuing Legal Education 2010 Land Use Conference, I decided to adapt my conference presentation so I could use it for talks to landowners like those in Knickerbocker. The idea of making the presentation available online was then a natural outgrowth of that idea. I’m making the presentation available here on the Texas Power Lines Blog for landowners and others who want to learn more about transmission line proceedings in Texas. I hope to create videos of different sections of the presentation and make them available in the future.
