Clean energy groups encourage public financing for electric transmission
Translation: "Let's give more money to the green energy shysters on Wall Street dummies".
A new analysis from two pro-clean energy groups suggests that publicly financing high-voltage power lines in New England could save electric customers more than $9 billion over the next few decades.
Jamie Dickerson, senior director of climate and clean energy programs at the Acadia Center, said New England's transmission system is old and needs significant investment, with nearly $12 billion already it the development pipeline.
The region will also need significant new transmission lines and upgrades over the next few decades to meet increasing electric demand and to connect new energy resources, Dickerson added. He said ISO-New England, the grid operator, estimates up to $26 billion in transmission investment will be needed over the next 25 years.
Funding those expected projects with private debt and equity adds significant cost to electric customers, Dickerson said.

The Intelligence System and Why Tulsi Gabbard Was Essentially the First DNI

Here it becomes more important for the next sequence of events to fully understand what it was about Tulsi Gabbard in the position of DNI that made such a big difference. What was it about her approach to the office of the DNI that made Gabbard stand out? This is a discussion worth having.
