N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1880: Legislative findings and declaration of intent

§ 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.
