Another big milestone. We appreciate the support of our elected officials in Woburn. homenewshere.com/daily_times_ch…

Imagine if you had tons of money, time, intelligence, and interest in identifying top priorities to benefit humanity. Would you focus on the #transmission grid? Let’s hear what ⁦Bill Gates⁩ thinks. #BEsummit2022 ⁦Amy Harder⁩ Macro Grid Initiative⁩ ⁦ACEG⁩

'm learning a ton about the future of rail at the NEMA Rail Electrification Council meeting. I'm embarrassed to admit I wasn't aware that battery electric locomotives, like this one from Wabtec Corporation, are close to or ready for prime time. So cool. The FRA Progress Rail

It won't be long now before I metamorphose into some type of linear infrastructure. I don't know if it will be a transmission line, a rail line, or a pipeline.

More learning: whereas transmission industry uses the word "catenary" to describe "the curve of a hanging cable due to its own weight" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary), rail industry uses it as "a system of overhead wires used to supply power to a locomotive" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_….)

Speaking of grid deployment, here is the best and most up to date summary of all the IIJA- and IRA-related grid funding opportunities and programs that I have seen: energy.gov/sites/default/…

Couldn't agree more with U.S. Department of Energy's Jay Caspary & CTC Global's Bill White speaking at yesterday's WIRES conference. We need more "right-sized" advanced conductor transmission lines for capacity we may not need today but will definitely need tomorrow: utilitydive.com/news/national-…

Shout-out to teachers everywhere. My sister-in-law works her a** off to make these kids feel loved and accepted.

And yet, total transmission capacity (GW-miles) didn't grow by anything close to 9%. What gives? Is the majority of that 9% replacement of aging (and therefore not associated with new capacity)?

Chill out, Slack. It has been a long week and I'm doing my best.

Great listen for anyone interested in the future of energy transmission. In Catalyst with Shayle Kann, Activate Lara Pierpoint and Liza B Reed break down how to get more energy on the wires. Canary Media lnkd.in/ehW5aTwM

Grid upgrades are coming! We are excited to see more crucial government funding being put toward projects leading to the long-term durability of the grid. Read more from @TheHill here: tinyurl.com/2p92bz9f

The EV takeover will reach new highs in the coming decade, but charging those vehicles efficiently will require high-capacity transmission lines. By incorporating grid-enhancing technologies into the fold, an electrified future can become a reality. tinyurl.com/3wpexuuj

Of all all of the many thousand Acts of Congress since 1789, my favorite is the 1896 Act that defines cheese.
