Want to learn more about interconnection? This webinar next week will help! info.advancedenergyunited.or…
There is a backlog of clean energy projects waiting to be connected to the grid. Interconnection is the word used to talk about the process. Yesterday, @FERC finalized rules that will make the process simpler. We applaud this and look forward to more! blog.advancedenergyunited.or…

Yes, long-distance power lines can kill birds. But they're a hell of a lot better for the avian world than climate change. New report from @audubonsociety calls for a massive transmission buildout to support solar and wind farms. My story for @latimes: latimes.com/environment/news…
