Of course we need to listen to the relatively small number of people that will be affected by the pylons directly, and probably compensate them through lower electricity bills. But we also need to hear from the many, many more people on low incomes who are already struggling to pay bills.

The programme pitted people directly affected by the pylons (near their homes) against government. But it didn’t have any views from people who will need to pay higher bills (that’s probably all of us btw) if we have expensive underground cables (proposed by campaigners) instead of cheaper pylons.
