. @GovCox joined Western leaders to sign the WestTEC agreement and launch PACT, a new task force to speed up grid permitting.
More power means nothing without the lines to deliver it.

It was my honor to sign the “Western Transmission Joint Statement of Agreement For a Stronger, More Connected Western Grid” recently at the @westgov Annual Meeting in Deer Valley, Utah.
Reliable, affordable electricity is essential to economic growth, energy security, and competitiveness across the American West, including Wyoming. Wyoming’s role in powering the nation relies on infrastructure that can transport our products to their end user. Ride for the brand!

Happy National Lineworker Appreciation Day! 💡⚡
Huge thanks to the incredible men and women across the West and beyond, who climb to new heights (literally) to keep our electricity flowing. 🙌
#ThankALineworker
Gratitude for all of the line workers, operators, landowners and everyone else collaborating to keep the US power grid reliable, modern and strong. #HappyThanksgiving

"There's probably 20 high-quality studies all showing enormous consumer benefits if we get interregional transmission right...It's also often lowering costs for consumers, and it's certainly improving reliability." -@AbeEnergy

On July 10, 1896, the IBEW's first president Henry Miller died on the job working as a lineworker. Today -- National Lineworker Appreciation Day -- we celebrate all lineworkers for all they do for our communities. #ThankaLineworker

💡CAISO President and CEO Elliot Mainzer testified at a @HouseCommerce hearing and shared how interregional transmission and resource diversity has "significantly improved reliability and affordability."
Hear his full remarks:
A beautiful Downtown Rawlins, Wyoming, cleanup day today with our construction partner Barnard Wilson Joint Venture joining the volunteer team - painting a creative safety crosswalk over to the Depot’s Kids Korner, designing a “music wall,” weeding and so much more.

What can help mitigate grid vulnerabilities? Additional transmission capacity.
"There have been extensive studies, but a lot of that still is focused on: we need more capacity added to the grid as well and additional transmission." - DOE's Mike Goff
👇👇
"there's an immediate opportunity to ensure the U.S. takes action to deploy advanced transmission technologies...as well as high-voltage regional and INTERREGIONAL TRANMISSION lines to accommodate power needs of the coming decades"
(emphasis on interregional, like TWE Project)
🚨New op-ed by @FERCChatterjee on transmission & AI
"An America First AI agenda will require every available transmission technology to pull off. Without an expanded transmission system, the U.S. will cede its leadership in the AI race."
In @UtilityDive: utilitydive.com/news/ai-data…
"The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are currently 780,000 active electricians in the United States, with another 80,000 jobs open."
The country needs more electricity – and more electricians. bit.ly/3RrprdP

"We can't achieve energy dominance in this country if we can't get power to where it needs to go...The power grid doesn't care about where the electrons come from." -@TylerDuvelius

"Private property rights are the cornerstone of our ranching traditions. These rights empower landowners to decide how best to use their land. They provide the freedom to innovate, diversify, and adapt to changing circumstances. This is particularly important for ranching families, whose livelihoods often depend on unpredictable markets and the whims of Mother Nature. The ability to lease land for renewable energy projects, for example, is a critical opportunity that must remain within our control."

This #FactFriday, we’ll cover a #FAQ: Can we have wireless transmission of electricity? 💡
The transmission of electricity without wires would result in high efficiency losses & would not be cost effective with current technology. For more OE facts: energy.gov/oe/electricity-10…
