I remember that. When the homes were built there was nothing but open land then Duke put in a power station. Now the homewoners are stuck.

Bottom line, however you feel about living near powe lines, the majority of buyers will not want it so, you if you buy a home like that you are gambling on the resale value of the home when you eventually sell.
