The bigger problem right now than the cost of renewable energy is the difficulty of getting permits to build transmission lines to *move* the renewable energy. New power sources need new transmission lines. https://t.co/lCkqFmV1MU — PolitiTweet.org

In many cases (interregional electrician transmission vs natural gas pipelines, geothermal vs oil & gas drilling, safety absolutism for nuclear vs cost-benefit for coal & gas) the permitting process is much easier for dirty energy than for zero carbon. https://t.co/wvpyYGjYbN — PolitiTweet.org
