If they were painted green those would be even better. I opposed these and signed the petition, as they pass near to where I live.I agree with you though it's definitely a minority viewpoint.
It may be more acceptable to many if National Grid were to deploy their new T-pylon series at new sites. Less expensive than underground cabling or sending via an offshore route. I think these really look quite elegant.

Current style pylons are an eyesore and generate that ugly buzzing noise that is quite dystopic. Not good at all for country walkers.
I'm not sure where in East Anglia you lived, but most of it is a hell of a lot better than Birmingham or Glasgow.I think the aesthetics of pylons would be a welcome addition to what is one of the most bleak, depressing and desolate areas of the UK.
I have no fond memories, and certainly in winter, of East Anglia, only to be leaving the area.
