“Why it’s so hard to build new electrical transmission lines in the U.S.”
February 22, 2023
“…Building new transmission lines in the United States is like herding cats. Unless that process can be fundamentally improved, the nation will have a hard time meeting its climate goals.
The transmission system in the U.S. is old, doesn’t go where an energy grid powered by clean energy sources needs to go, and isn’t being built fast enough to meet projected demand increases.
Building new transmission lines in the U.S. takes so long — if they are built at all — that electrical transmission has become a roadblock for deploying clean energy…”
You know why its so hard to build new infrastructure here in the U.S.? It’s because this government is more concerned about spending our tax payer dollars on wars overseas. All that money being sent to Ukraine could be fixing the electrical grid.
