Architect of Inflation Reduction Act opens a policy map about solar and wind energy connected to the electric vehicle. But without the rapid construction of transmission lines to link them, that path could only lead to greater use of coal and natural gas.
That is the result of a recent analysis conducted by the Rapid Energy Policy Assessment and Analysis Toolkit (REPEAT), a project led by Prof. Jesse Jenkins of Princeton. The analysis shows that if the United States built power transmission lines at the rate of the past 10 years (1% annual glacial), it would lead to more coal and natural gas consumption by 2030 than if the Inflation Reduction Act focuses on green energy. did not pass.
