Rewire the Electrical Grid

Use stimulus money to rework the electrical grid so that it can withstand the 'ups and downs' associated with many alternative energies as well as wiring on streets and highways for low cost recharge parking spots and recharge stations - more jobs and an upgraded grid prepared to handle new energies and electric vehicles and a high speed rail network. Good transportation infrastructure is the backbone of a strong free-market economy.

    It's not that simple. Power production, distribution, storage, architecture, modular, redundent . . .

    I agree with the intent, but a full understanding of the technical issues are necessary.

    Once the understanding and design (technical, not political) is in place, then committment can follow.

    GE (CorpGov) is already to scoop up big profits on this. Get some stock if this passes.

    This is a phony issue probably promoted for the benefit of those that are now, as we speak, defining where it will go and which companies will benefit, the companies of the promoters -of course.

    It is a distortion to build a two thousand mile power line to bring electricity to the West from coal fields in Central USA with access also to gas fields in Canada and Alaska owned by some secret political contributor of the elected leaders that make the approvals and the recommendations to Federal Agencies.

    What if they finish the power lines at the time that the evidence convinces a majority of voters and the Carbon Emission tax is tripled, or more, to END production of Carbon Emissions from Coal, Clean Coal, Natural Coal, Natural Gas, Unnatural Oil and all the nefarious fuels we use and drive Global Warming.

    I expect that in the next 15 years we shall have all the evidence we need for all Americans to, finally, accept Global Warming as the reality it will be, but is not now, except for students of the subject. What we need is 10,000 deaths by drowning and lack of drinking water -in the same part of the world. Impossible? Remember your views now, in 2020. You are part of the problem.
