One says they used 0 gauge wire to run DC voltage from the tower itself buried at plow depth. Wonder if that is a single or multiple wires or is a ground needed? What type of insulation and conduit is used?
Then 3 or 4 towers are run to one substation and continue on. So I wonder what gauge wire is then run from this substation to the main substation?
At what point is the DC tower voltage converted to AC? If solid state, then they have to have some type of big SCR (silicon rectifiers) to convert I believe.
If a company is also going to sell electricity to locals, then they would have to do the conversion near the towers.
Around here most of the farmers who own ground can't wait to get the lease payments that go with the towers. The ones who get skipped over don't. Most of the Nimby's around here are the tree huggers who moved to the country on their 3 acre lot who then complain cause the farmers stir up too much dust, etc. (their complaints are endless). They tear up the roads driving on them everyday, complain about the roads, and don't want to pay their fair share of taxes for the maintenance.
