Lots of solar, geothermal and wind along the way along with lots of places to build storage.

Completing the loop makes the grid more durable, a break along the route won’t take the entire system down as could happen now with the Pacific Intertie and Intermountain HVDCs systems.

It’s going to create a very robust regional renewable energy system.

And it looks like the SunZia could be a good step to tying into the winds of Texas.

It’s a good thing….
