Consumer, Employment, and Environmental Benefits of Electricity Transmission Expansion in the Eastern United States

If local towns and neighborhoods continue to oppose decentralized zero Carbon energy, whether solar ground mounts or utility scale solar farms or wind turbines, we’re going to need more transmission, much more transmission.

Opponents to decentralized solar generation are either unfamiliar with the facts (see report linked just above, or list below), or are disingenuous, offering defense of local stands of trees, hiking paths, wildlife, and natural settings as what they perceive to be more acceptable reasons for opposition than deeper ones, such as worry about home and neighborhood devaluation.
