I couldn't find the Mike Drucker and FactPost posts on X.com, but this is not a fake story. Fox News did run a segment in which their anchor argued in favor of sacrificing a Christmas tree farm for a power transmission line.

Apologies for the incorrect information.

Did not know that. I guess that the trees are more able to handle the ground/hills? SWBTATTReg Dec 2025 #5
