The power lines will aim to supply 3.5 additional gigawatts of energy to the U.S. grid, which equates to powering 3 million homes.

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a $1.3 billion federal investment to build three new interstate power lines in an effort to upgrade the United States’ outdated electric grid and transition it to clean energy.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

    Does it hurt being you? The grid is old and needs to be upgraded. Corporate power companies take subsidies and money from the gov’t as a motivator to upgrade their lines and infrastructure but they never do and those same lines fail over and over.

    What is your solution then? Who should upgrade infrastructure and who should pay for it? You’ve done nothing but complain while offering nothing to the conversation. You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
