The DOE announces $1.5B for four transmission projects – including connecting the Texas grid to the rest of the US for the first time ever.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announces $1.5B for four transmission projects – including connecting the Texas grid to the rest of the US for the first time ever.

The projects, spanning multiple states, will add nearly 1,000 miles of new transmission lines and increase grid capacity by 7,100 megawatts (MW). They’ll boost grid reliability, lower energy costs, and support the clean energy transition.

    My state Reps office was floating something about giving incentives for more gas plants. Then it turns out there’s a suit against the gas companies for rigging the entire thing.

    Fuck these clowns, of course the feds will actually fix the problem.
