Why this card
The Welsh government has opened a consultation on an undergrounding-first approach that would ban new steel pylons. Ten years is about right for new grid lines to be planned, dug and buried. The picture shows a pylon-free valley skyline with sheep grazing over a cable running quietly through the rock below.
