As published by the energy transition boosters at the Financial Times, the build-out of new high capacity transmission lines has collapsed to a trickle:
There can be no energy transition in any real sense without a doubling or tripling of the US power grid - including transmission - in just a little more than a decade. The Biden government itself admitted last year the US would need to build more than 200,000 miles of new high voltage transmission by 2030 [!], a very, very conservative, low-ball estimate.
But none of that is happening, which means the vaunted “energy transition” is not happening, either.
Somebody pop the champagne!
That is all.
I would bet a Franklin against a donut that the idiots pushing these policies have never darkened a door at a generation plants inner sanctums.
It's the old "who is going to pay' game. TOPs see there isn't support for enough revenue to pay for new lines. The Greenies think transmission use should be free. Renewables generators only build when the government pays them to, that doesn't include Transmission. So the game of spin the bottle continues.
