The Tampa Electric Company (TECO) needs a new transmission line out in Seffner.
YouTube user JoyIng1 posted a video with concerns for the environment:
Tampa Electric Company plans to clearcut wetlands with bald eagle nest for high voltage transmission corridor in Hillsborough County, Florida.
None of this is a big deal - people post videos and write blogs about a million different things. But this time, TECO responded with their own video.
Wlongstr says he is a manager, and lists his website as tecoenergy.com. Two days after JoyIng1 put her vdieo on the YouTube, wlongstr posted his own video:
Tampa Electric’s Willow Oak-Davis transmission line is one of the company’s major projects needed to support reliability in Florida. With growth in the area, it has become impossible to locate a power line in a way that makes everyone happy. Here, one of TECO’s environmental engineers explains how Tampa Electric uses feedback from the public and other criteria to decide where lines should go.
Pretty interesting to see corporations reaching out to address individual criticisms.
