The US Department of Energy (DOE) announces $1.5B for four transmission projects – including connecting the Texas grid to the rest of the US for the first time ever.

The projects, spanning multiple states, will add nearly 1,000 miles of new transmission lines and increase grid capacity by 7,100 megawatts (MW). They’ll boost grid reliability, lower energy costs, and support the clean energy transition.

    I’m not, we’re bailing them out from their arrogant stupidity.

    They’re going to end up gaming us like Enron, selling power to us when it’s most expensive and taking it only when it’s free.

    Then eventually they’ll go back to playing games to make sure everyone in the country has brownouts they can profit off of.

    Never, EVER trust Texans in energy, they’re worse than the mafia.
