ACORE Statement on Rep. Casten and Rep. Levin’s Introduction of the CETA Act

December 13, 2023

Statement From Jose Zayas, Executive Vice President of Policy and Programs at the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE):

“A significant buildout of the nation’s transmission system is imperative to achieving a clean energy grid that will provide emissions reductions, reliability and resilience improvements, and cost savings.

“ACORE strongly supports the Clean Electricity and Transmission Acceleration (CETA) Act for its comprehensive approach to tackling the myriad of barriers to building a 21st century Macro Grid. The CETA Act offers much-needed solutions to enhance interregional transmission planning, facilitate cost allocation, streamline transmission permitting, establish a minimum transfer requirement, reform participant funding, and provide a standalone transmission investment tax credit.

“We applaud Representatives Casten and Levin for their leadership and look forward to working with members of Congress to advance this important and comprehensive legislation.”

A Profile in Corporate Greed

I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.

As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs. “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”

She went on, “This shift has been particularly obvious in the case of Delta, which, when I started with them, was known for its southern charm and the feeling of welcoming its passengers. Now, that gone. It’s like it never existed.”

Trump should fire Pete Hegseth?

Oh sure. If you’re Trump, Hegseth is the perfect leader of the Pentagon. He’s lawless, stupid, cruel, misogynistic, and racist. No one could possibly match Trump’s values with any greater precision.
