       | We desperately need the feds to take over these approvals under
       | the interstate commerce clause. We will need a ton of
       | transmission infrastructure over the next decade, and we can't
       | have things being held up or denied by the states just because
       | they happen to be in the path. See the vote in Maine over the
       | proposed line from Canada to NY.

       | We need about four HVDC lines through the Sierras, to connect the
       | US wind belt (the Texas panhandle north to Canada) to the West
       | Coast. Plus lines east to Chicago and beyond.

           | Now if we can only get the westbound links in place.
           | 
           | There's a New Mexico to Arizona link going in, which is nice
           | for Phoenix but doesn't go far enough. The TransWest Express
           | project (Wyoming to Las Vegas, which already has good
           | westbound connections) has been in studies for a decade now.
