Re: I would like for the grid to be more robust, but environmentalists have to allow new lines. >>> That is a true concern, but it is a small one (easily over-ridden by federal mandate). >>> The much LARGER factor limiting grid interconnections is that the regional power producers DON'T WANT to build more interconnections (they have NO ECONOMIC REASON to build more... because interconnecting regional grids allows for competition in power sales: something most clearly fight against). They prefer the effective monopoly they have over regional sales.
