Homeowner Fights Power Line on His Land | Birmingham News
Description
A stubborn Alabama homeowner is fighting back against Alabama Power’s plan to slice through his 400-acre property with a 125-foot-wide transmission line, calling it an invasion of his land and heritage. Despite offering alternative routes—including one through a neighbor’s recently clear-cut land—he’s been rejected, sparking legal action. He’s also raising alarms about environmental damage to ancient oaks, wetlands, and wildlife, while criticizing a 2019 law that he says gives utilities too much power over easements. Alabama Power insists they’re seeking voluntary agreements and that condemnation is a last resort, guided by engineering and safety. With a court hearing set for September 9th, the homeowner vows to keep his land intact, no matter the cost.
