Profiteering Hampers U.S. Grid Expansion

Cars That Think

The United States is not building enough transmission lines to connect regional power networks. The deficit is driving up electricity prices, reducing grid reliability, and hobbling renewable energy deployment. A transmission network contains webs of connections, which create a reliable, redundant power-supply system of massive scale.
