By: Brad Bayliff The Blawg of the Day selection describes Texas Power Lines Blog as “a great niche blog” and says the blog is “providing some great coverage on what is a really important topic here in Texas.” The Texas Power Lines Blog is located at http://blog.texaspowerlines.com/ "It is great to be noticed and commented on by someone of Tom Mighell’s stature in the legal blogging community. I started the blog with the hope that it could serve as a resource for landowners who received notices from utilities that their properties may be affected by a proposed transmission line," Bayliff said. "Many wind farms are being built in West Texas and the Panhandle but the demand for the electricity they generate is in Central and East Texas. There are many applications being filed at the PUC to request authority to build CREZ transmission lines from the source of the wind energy to the consumers, so this is a timely and interesting subject area on which to blog. In fact, some of the entries that have generated the most interest have involved the LCRA CREZ transmission lines that are proposed to be built in the Texas Hill Country" The American Bar Association estimates that there are between 2,000 and 3,000 legal blogs, what the ABA calls “blawgs.” Legal blogs often provide advice, tips, and opinions about legal issues. Mighell’s site has been included on the Blawg 100 list, the 100 best web sites by lawyers, for lawyers, as chosen by the editors of the ABA Journal.
