FACT SHEET: Biden Administration Advances Expansion & Modernization of the Electric Grid | The White House
Departments of Energy and Transportation Announce New Actions to Upgrade America’s Power Infrastructure -- Creating Jobs, Increasing Reliability, and Combating Climate Change
Source: www.whitehouse.gov
The news that the Biden Administration is focusing on transmission projects is significant, but more significant in this announcement is the reference to an independent "Ready to Go" report that identifies 22 shovel-ready transmission projects that would spur $33 billion in investment and create 600,000 related transmission jobs. The report also estimates that the projects would then spur solar and wind projects that could create an additional 640,000 jobs. Wow, 1.2 million jobs, increased resiliency and carving a path to further reduce carbon emissions -- pretty good deal.
