ACORE Commends DOE For Critical Transmission Investments and Analysis
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the first round of Transmission Facilitation Program capacity contract awards and released the final National Transmission Needs Study today, two important actions to help accelerate the pace of transmission development nationwide. Following is a statement from Gregory Wetstone, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE):
“The expansion and modernization of our national power grid is central to meeting our urgent climate and energy security goals. The interregional transmission line projects that DOE awarded today would add approximately 3,500 megawatts of capacity to the grid, enabling more low-cost clean energy to power America’s homes and businesses while creating thousands of good-paying jobs. We commend the Biden-Harris administration for this historic investment.
“ACORE also agrees wholeheartedly with the findings of the National Transmission Needs Study, which shows that we must more than double our regional transmission capacity and expand by more than fivefold our interregional transmission capabilities by 2035 to realize the full economic benefits and clean energy potential of the Inflation Reduction Act. This analysis demonstrates how vital transmission expansion is to accelerating the renewable transition, enhancing national security, and ensuring electric reliability and resilience.”

We have hundreds of convicted criminals on the streets due to Trump’s pardons. We have a quagmire in Iran due to Trump’s pointless and illegal war. The United States is viewed internationally with a blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.
These were some dark days in U.S. history, but they seem bright and shiny in comparison to today.
Nixon didn’t storm the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government, nor did he hand out pardons for cash.

John Eastman, One of Trump’s Attorney Henchmen in an Attempt to Overthrow the U.S. Government, Is Disbarred
In April of this year, the California Supreme Court disbarred attorney John Charles Eastman. This after the State Bar Court Review Department in July 2025 affirmed the findings of the State Bar Court Hearing Department’s March 2024 recommendation, which found Eastman culpable of 10 out of 11 charges for egregious and deceitful conduct and recommended his disbarment.
Apparently, certain bodies within the United States are still trying to maintain justice here in America.
