The $2.5 billion "SOO Green" project has succeeded thus far where others have failed for two key reasons: It will run underground -- meaning no eyesore overhead wiring -- and it will be placed along the preexisting Canadian Pacific Railway, largely sidestepping eminent domain disputes with landowners. https://www.soogreenrr.com
"The future is now, and now is the time to build out a national electric grid that can deliver clean energy to the cities and towns that need it," Direct Connect CEO Trey Ward told CNN. "It will be the largest infrastructure project of our lifetime and it will be good for our children."
Watch this video. No need to wait for the politicians of either party. Great projects, like SOO Green, that make sense and deliver value to customers will get built.
Note that undergrounding and RR right of way make the routing and permitting of this project so much easier by eliminating major challenges with better planning and design! A “new paradigm” of thinking.
The green energy revolution is coming -- with or without help from Washington
The American clean energy industry is primed for a boom. The only question is whether Washington can help juice the transition.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
