§ 1880. Legislative findings and declaration of intent. The
legislature hereby finds that improvement in the efficiency of
electrical transmission will enable utilities to conserve fossil fuel,
including imported oil, by increasing the capacity of transmission
lines. The legislature further finds that experiments in high phase
order electric transmission indicate that transmission efficiency may be
able to be increased by over seventy percent and that, if practical,
will reduce the need to construct new rights of way, produce lower
electric and magnetic fields, less radio and television interference at
less cost and environmental impact. The legislature therefore declares
that high phase order technology be tested under actual operating
conditions.
