Profiteering Hampers U.S. Grid Expansion

Cars That Think

The United States is not building enough transmission lines to connect regional power networks. A transmission network contains webs of connections, which create a reliable, redundant power-supply system of massive scale. The goal is to keep the lights on at a low cost by utilizing an efficient mix of power plants.
