It's the Transmission, Stupid

Yet another "here's what you need to do, Mr. President" from energy gurus. This one is from the Demand Response Smart Grid Coalition and it lists a total of 21 to-do's. 21. These guys just don't get it. There's only one thing that the federal government needs to do to realize a renewable energy future and that's transmission. Heck, they don't even need to build it. They just need to lead the planning of it. Build the transmission to the high-sun and high-wind spots and everything else pays for itself. It really is that simple.
