Section 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.
