"There's probably 20 high-quality studies all showing enormous consumer benefits if we get interregional transmission right...It's also often lowering costs for consumers, and it's certainly improving reliability." -@AbeEnergy 📰 via @rtoinsider rtoinsider.com/112900-states-…

On July 10, 1896, the IBEW's first president Henry Miller died on the job working as a lineworker. Today -- National Lineworker Appreciation Day -- we celebrate all lineworkers for all they do for our communities. #ThankaLineworker

What can help mitigate grid vulnerabilities? Additional transmission capacity. "There have been extensive studies, but a lot of that still is focused on: we need more capacity added to the grid as well and additional transmission." - DOE's Mike Goff 👇👇


"there's an immediate opportunity to ensure the U.S. takes action to deploy advanced transmission technologies...as well as high-voltage regional and INTERREGIONAL TRANMISSION lines to accommodate power needs of the coming decades" (emphasis on interregional, like TWE Project)

🚨New op-ed by @FERCChatterjee on transmission & AI "An America First AI agenda will require every available transmission technology to pull off. Without an expanded transmission system, the U.S. will cede its leadership in the AI race." In @UtilityDive: utilitydive.com/news/ai-data-c…



"The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are currently 780,000 active electricians in the United States, with another 80,000 jobs open."
