U.S. power market monitors in the Eastern Interconnection have recommended that grid operators optimize existing interregional transmission for more than a decade, yet inefficient usage of interties continues to raise system costs and reduce reliability, according to this report from The Brattle Group and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP.

Optimizing the use of existing or new interregional transmission capability between the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), Midcontinent ISO (MISO), or PJM Interconnection (PJM) would provide approximately $50-60 million annually in additional value for every gigawatt of intertie capacity beyond what bilateral trades are currently able to capture. This report, “The Need for Intertie Optimization: Reducing Customer Costs, Improving Grid Resilience, and Encouraging Interregional Transmission,” is sponsored by the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), the Advanced Power Alliance (APA), Grid United, Invenergy, MAREC Action, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

It depends on what you mean by “happened.”

They were somewhere between 14 and 53 times more likely to die of the disease. I wouldn’t call drowning in one’s own puss and blood “nothing.”

Side Note: Being an anti-vaxxer is not a good look.  I don’t know a single guy who would come within 50 yards of this crackpot.
