Stop the Presses
Attention. A competent person has apparently found their way into a leadership position within a department of the executive branch. I repeat. A competent person has somehow found their way into a leadership position with the executive branch. That is all:
The grid congestion report to be released Tuesday is a first step to the government proposing electricity transmission corridors later this year to try to ease bottlenecks and avoid blackouts.Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said the department will now begin the process of proposing new transmission corridors that are of special importance to the national power grid.
"If we are to ensure electricity reliability, it is important that we do what we can to facilitate investment in new generation and transmission capacity," Bodman said in a statement.
A copy of the report was provided to The Associated Press late Monday.
Congress ordered the congestion analysis last year when it also for the first time gave the federal government greater say on where high-priority transmission lines are needed. If states and regional groups fail to build the lines, the federal government could order them built.
Of course, by investment he pry means tax cut, but it's still a start.
