President Joe Biden announced Monday a $1.3 billion federal investment to build three new interstate power lines in an effort to upgrade the United States’ outdated electric grid and transition it to clean energy.

The electric transmission lines will cross through six states: Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Utah and Vermont.

    … to build three new interstate power lines …

      Anyone who thought $1.3 B could upgrade the entire power grid is an idiot in the first place.

      Maybe $1.3 T.
