Wednesday, March 5 (Washington, D.C.) — Last night, President Trump addressed a joint session of Congress for the first time since retaking office. Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) Executive Director Christina Hayes released the following statement:
“Whether it’s winning the AI race against China, lowering electric bills for families and businesses or unleashing an American manufacturing boom, President Trump outlined a vision for America during his address to the Joint Session of Congress that will require a modern energy grid to deliver on his ambitious goals.
Generation alone isn’t enough. Without the ability to efficiently move power from where it is produced to where it is needed, we risk bottlenecks, higher costs and reliability challenges. Simply put, transmission is the backbone of our grid – and indispensable to President Trump’s energy dominance agenda.
We look forward to working with the White House to deliver policies that promote transmission infrastructure that advances our nation’s economy, security and global competitiveness.”
