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.
