5. Case Study
A Direct Current power line has been proposed to cross your state to deliver needed electricity to a large metropolitan area.
The right of way will be 150 feet wide.
The towers will be 75 feet tall.
As you review the next few slides, discuss the positive and negative impacts of this project.
Record these impacts in your Engineering Design Journal.
