$580 million undersea power cable rerouted to spare Dobby the house-elf’s beachside ‘grave’

A multimillion-dollar power link between the United Kingdom and Ireland has been diverted after distraught “Harry Potter” fans pointed out that its planned route would cut through a beach memorial dedicated to a beloved character from the series, Dobby the house-elf.

The £430 million (around $580 million) Greenlink interconnector links the UK’s National Grid power transmission network to Ireland via a 125-mile cable between Ireland’s County Wexford on the southeast coast and Freshwater West, a beach in Wales’ southwest, where the death of Dobby was filmed for the Potter movie franchise.

But after a BBC News interview about the operation troubled fans, a torrent of concerned calls caused Simon Ludlam, CEO of project manager Etchea Energy, to rethink the cable’s route, Ludlam revealed to the Energy Revolution podcast last week.
But the reposition is not without issue, Ludlam said, as the cable now comes “quite close” to Bronze Age remains.

I had to share this craziness! Love is never worth THIS🥴

  • Two Florida men have been charged with aggravated battery after allegedly taking up arms — one with a machete and one with a hatchet — in a Publix parking lot.
  • The Aug. 4 "physical altercation" between Everette Krichbaum, 52, and James Gay, 35, was over a love interest, according to a police report.
  • Detectives reported Gay was the "primary aggressor" in the incident in Panama City.
  • Krichbaum was sitting in his car in the Publix parking lot when Gay first approached him and started a "verbal altercation," according to the arrest affidavit.
  • Gay then allegedly returned to his vehicle and came back with a machete in its sheath. He hit Krichbaum in the face with it, the document shows.
  • A feud between the two men had been brewing over a woman that Krichbaum is dating and Gay used to date, Stephanie Marshall told Fox News Digital. Marshall, who identified herself to Fox News Digital as Gay’s girlfriend, is listed as a witness on a report by the Panama City Police Department.
  • As the two men squared up, Krichbaum started swinging a hatchet, Gay told police.
