The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released a new roadmap outlining solutions towards speeding up the interconnection of clean energy onto the nation’s transmission grid and clear the existing backlog of solar, wind and battery projects seeking to be built. 

The Transmission Interconnection Roadmap, developed by DOE’s Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X), is meant to be a guide for setting what the agency calls aggressive success targets for improvement by 2030 by providing stakeholders with a set of 35 solutions organized around increasing data access, transparency and security for interconnection; improving interconnection process and timeline; promoting economic efficiency in interconnection; and maintaining a reliable grid.

“Clearing the backlog of nearly 12,000 solar, wind, and storage projects waiting to connect to the grid is essential to deploying clean electricity to more Americans,” says U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “Through the i2X program, the Biden-Harris Administration is accelerating the interconnection process by ensuring all stakeholders have better access to data and improved standards and procedures as we seek to develop and maintain a more efficient, reliable and clean grid.”

The roadmap also includes target metrics for interconnection reform such as shorter interconnection times, lower interconnection cost variance, increased completion rates and zero disturbance events attributed to modeling.

Is the World Laughing at America?

Some people may be, but, to a person, the foreigners I’ve met are deeply saddened, and terrified of the consequences of the Trump regime.

Their feeling is simply that America re-elected a convicted felon, rapist, and traitor who attempted to overthrow the U.S. federal government.  If we’re willing to do that, we’re capable of anything, regardless of how depraved.

Trump’s Supporters Eat Up His Lies

I’ve never understood why those who compose total bullshit like this don’t go for the gusto.  Why 95% and not 99% or 100%?

Trump’s actual approval rating among Republicans is somewhere between 75% and 80%, as can be easily verified by anyone on Earth with a cell phone or computer. That number continues to dwindle, as he faces more pressure regarding the war, gas prices, child rape, etc.

Obviously, the president’s supporters are suckers for his lies, but isn’t this a bit over the top?

The Future of Energy

I get a call every week or so from someone working for a start-up in oil exploration, hoping that I’ll invest.  I guess my name and cell number got collected somehow from various online searches I’ve made.

I’m always quick to explain, “Oh, sorry, I don’t support wrecking the planet, even if I can profit from it.  Neither should you. Bye now.”
