was there any kind of significant opposition to the national grid?

This may seem a daft question, but I'm curious. In the 1800s the Luddites opposed mechnisation. In the 1980s, 1990s people worried about the rise of computers.

Was there any similar kind of opposition to the creation of the national electricity grid?

google says ...

It’s a journey down the wires from the awe and opposition that greeted the first pylons in 1928 and the novelty of electric light, to the long lost glamour of the British nuclear industry and Margaret Thatcher’s determination to keep power flowing during the miners’ strike.
