U.S. grid operators lag far behind international counterparts in deploying a technology that is supporting grid modernization efforts across the world, according to a new report from The Brattle Group and DNV. High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology is expanding rapidly, with more than 300 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity worldwide and 150 GW planned over the next decade.
This report, “The Operational and Market Benefits of HVDC to System Operators,” offers nine recommendations to address barriers the technology faces in the U.S. The report sponsors include the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), Allete, Clean Grid Alliance, GridLab, Grid United, and Pattern Energy Group.
A summary of the report can be accessed here, and the full report is available below.

As shown here, we live in a society that glorifies the very worst traits of the human animal and seems to be on a rocket ride to its own destruction.
Ignorance has terrific value to the billionaire class. If you’re filthy rich, you really don’t want a nation full of people learning that pure market capitalism is, by its very nature, exploitative, or that the consumption of fossil fuels is destroying our planet’s capacity to support life.
The Trump administration and congressional Republicans are exceptionally good at focusing the MAGA base on problems that don’t exist.
What bathrooms should trans people use? Well, before we work ourselves into a frenzy, let’s ask ourselves if this is an issue that is really harming the good people of this nation.
Keep in mind that 60% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and are struggling to afford groceries.
