Currently, we’re expanding transmission capacity by only about 1% per year. According to analysis from @Princeton, we need to more than double that rate at in order to realize the full emissions reducing potential of the IRA. https://t.co/ylSHvporAV — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Manchin’s permitting proposal, while flawed, did contain important provisions to help speed up the approval process for interstate transmission lines. https://t.co/QghntvxIcZ — PolitiTweet.org

If we continue to build transmission at our current rate, we will lose up to 80% of the expected emissions reductions from the IRA. So count me in for smart permitting reform to speed the deployment of transmission and other low-carbon projects, particularly for offshore wind! — PolitiTweet.org
