States and their regulatory agencies need to be shoved aside, no matter how rudely, if we’re going to overcome the electric transmission logjam and maximize not just production of wind and solar electricity but transmission of it.
The story tells about how wind power, in many places, is already bumping up against transmission limits.
Frankly, this is just one of many areas where we need to screw Reaganesque “federalism” for national-level regulatory schemes. Insurance regulation comes immediately to mind, especially with the ever-increasing financialization of insurance.
Nationalization of school oversight, especially so that we can get beyond a 180-day school year, is another such issue.
