The editorial “Hold lights on as Washington transitions to wash energy” [April 5, Opinion] sends an essential message that we’d like sturdy funding to assist us make the clear vitality transition occur in a well timed method.
The editorial wraps up with this important assertion: “State lawmakers and regulators should not lose sight of the menace to grid reliability. That doesn’t imply backing away from the problem of local weather change however the acknowledgment {that a} full transformation of the electrical energy grid would require a dedication to funding new sources of technology which can be nonetheless years from grid deployment.”
I’d like so as to add one other choice to this advice. Our members of Congress are engaged on clear vitality allowing reform on the federal stage. A number of payments have been launched. It sounds wonky, however allowing reform could make an enormous distinction within the constructing out of fresh vitality if we will get it permitted extra effectively. We’d like targeted laws that permits the constructing of fresh vitality capability and transmission at each the state and federal ranges of presidency.
Let your member of Congress know you care about this problem. All arms on deck. And, it’s enjoyable to be wonky!
