A transmission line that’ll carry wind energy from New Mexico more than 500 miles through southern Arizona continues to generate controversy — even though work on it has already begun.

Wyatt Myskow covers environmental news in the Western U.S. from Phoenix as the Roy W. Howard investigative fellow, and has been following this story. He joined The Show to talk more about the project and why some Arizona residents continue to try to challenge it.
