American Transmission Company (ATC) is proposing a 100+ mile high-voltage transmission line—from Dubuque to Dane County—slashing through Wisconsin’s Driftless Area.
This unnecessary infrastructure will cost individual ratepayers (homeowners, farmers, renters, etc.) at least $500 million. The towering transmission line isn’t the best option for utility customers but it is the most profitable for ATC.

The wasteful ATC Cardinal-Hickory Creek Transmission Line is only in the planning stages. We can still stop it.
