Micrometers Mud Puddles

Planning and implementing an extra-high voltage (EHV) electric transmission grid on a national scale are paramount if electric utilities are to transform their energy future. They must take action now to build the interstate EHV grid for two reasons: it takes such a long time to site and build transmission, and they are struggling today to contend with their grandfathers' grid. Good planners know you cannot measure mud puddles with micrometers. Here are some of the things they know about their energy future, or at least things to consider probable: 1. supply, 2. demand, and 3. infrastructure. Enter into the world of politics, where mud puddles are plentiful and micrometers are abandoned for fire hoses to make new puddles.
