Plenty of villages with economies which right-out rely on tourism, and plenty of space around those villages. As said: Many of those conflicts could have been avoided by collecting feedback before deciding on a route.
Also: Would you rather pay more network fees or more for your electricity because insufficient interconnections cause price spikes on the local spot market? Burying a cable is a one-time investment, paying premium prices for electricity is a recurring cost.
All I’m saying is that “Oh those evil NIMBYs” is a cop-out, if you plan and execute things properly you get YIMBYs. A master carpenter doesn’t blame their tools, a master planner doesn’t blame the population.
