Is this related to what you were talking about yesterday, @JesseJenkins? gem.anl.gov/
Of all all of the many thousand Acts of Congress since 1789, my favorite is the 1896 Act that defines cheese.

The EV takeover will reach new highs in the coming decade, but charging those vehicles efficiently will require high-capacity transmission lines. By incorporating grid-enhancing technologies into the fold, an electrified future can become a reality. tinyurl.com/3wpexuuj

Grid upgrades are coming! We are excited to see more crucial government funding being put toward projects leading to the long-term durability of the grid. Read more from @TheHill here: tinyurl.com/2p92bz9f

Great listen for anyone interested in the future of energy transmission. In Catalyst with @shaylekann, @activatefellows @LaraPierpoint and @LizaBReed break down how to get more energy on the wires. @CanaryMediaInc

And yet, total transmission capacity (GW-miles) didn't grow by anything close to 9%. What gives? Is the majority of that 9% replacement of aging (and therefore not associated with new capacity)?
Shout-out to teachers everywhere. My sister-in-law works her a** off to make these kids feel loved and accepted.
Couldn't agree more with @ENERGY's @CasparyJay & @CTC_ACCC's Bill White speaking at yesterday's @wiresgroup conference. We need more "right-sized" advanced conductor transmission lines for capacity we may not need today but will definitely need tomorrow: utilitydive.com/news/nationa…

Speaking of grid deployment, here is the best and most up to date summary of all the IIJA- and IRA-related grid funding opportunities and programs that I have seen: energy.gov/sites/default/fil…
.@mariarobinsonMA is here! You are like a quantum dot, @mariarobinsonMA (many places at once).
More learning: whereas transmission industry uses the word "catenary" to describe "the curve of a hanging cable due to its own weight" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catena…), rail industry uses it as "a system of overhead wires used to supply power to a locomotive" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhe….)
It won't be long now before I metamorphose into some type of linear infrastructure. I don't know if it will be a transmission line, a rail line, or a pipeline.
'm learning a ton about the future of rail at the @NEMAupdates Rail Electrification Council meeting. I'm embarrassed to admit I wasn't aware that battery electric locomotives, like this one from @WabtecCorp, are close to or ready for prime time. So cool. @USDOTFRA @Progress_Rail

Another big milestone. We appreciate the support of our elected officials in Woburn.

Imagine if you had tons of money, time, intelligence, and interest in identifying top priorities to benefit humanity. Would you focus on the #transmission grid? Let’s hear what @BillGates thinks. #BEsummit2022 @AmyAHarder @TheMacroGrid @CleanEnergyGrid
