Western Transmission Barriers Should Go

摘要

Western states need to tear down the barriers that limit their ability to share electricity if they hope to tap into renewable energy and other sources of electricity the region needs to grow, western governors said in a statement on September 27, according to the Associated Press. Jon Wellington, a commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said the federal government is doing all it can to promote the use of renewable energy. He said emerging renewable-energy technologies are more expensive and need support from the federal government to get the power to market.
