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.
You are completely disregarding the amount of voter suppression that exists in Texas. Sure, the majority of folks that voted maybe wanted this, but that doesn’t mean the majority of Texans agree with it. Voter apathy is a thing, but there is nuance.
I’m not disregarding anything. My wording was very precise.
