Derkach says final line route decision will come soon after meetings with Hydro officials amid cost comparisons. West side route now estimated at 1.7 billion more than east, with concerns over environmental impact and possible expropriation by government, while Hydro plans 2012 start and 2017 completion.

East side route touted for lower environmental impact
Bob Sopuck argues the east side transmission line would cause far less harm than the west side, challenging government claims. He cites a 1993 study co authored with James Blatz and notes biologists say roads impact ecosystems more than lines. He references UNESCO park issues and Manitoba politics while urging local decision making.
