It looks like we may have a new federal green power grid. Our federal government will direct where it goes, and who pays for it. We can rest assured that with no hearings on massive legislation, and with no expertise in power grids, that we'll get a wonderful product as Democrats will be authorizing the spending. That seems all that is necessary of late to have a great program.

Senate leader offers plan for `green' power grid
The Senate's top Democrat is proposing special power lines to carry renewable energy—like solar and wind power—from remote places.
The Federal government would be able override states and direct where the lines would go and who would pay for them.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada unveiled his proposal Thursday. It is expected to become part of a broader energy bill the Senate plans to take up in the coming weeks.
The green power lines would boost development of solar, wind and geothermal energy projects otherwise cut off from the nation's electric grid. It's also a proposal that Reid acknowledged in a news release would give "an enormous boost" to his own state of Nevada where companies are eyeing large solar projects.
