California Needs More Power Lines to Meet Fossil Fuel Goals

There is no transition without transmission!

This is a telling article by Ari Plachta of The Sacramento Bee published in Government Technology calling attention to the growing need for transmission development in California. One of the article's highlights is the discussion of how Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Vaca-Dixon substation came to be 100 years ago - at the time, the world's largest substation connecting the world's longest high-voltage power line. It is time for a construction renaissance.
