Creating the 21st century US grid

THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 WILL INFUSE THE US ENERGY INDUSTRY AND ITS RATEPAYERS WITH UP TO US$40 BILLION IN LOAN GUARANTEES; BONDS; GRANTS; DIRECT INVESTMENTS IN TRANSMISSION PROJECTS; ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAMS; WEATHERISATION EFFORTS; SMART GRID TECHNOLOGIES; AND ALSO INCLUDES DIRECT ASSISTANCE FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. LYN CORUM PUTS THIS INTO CONTEXT FOR THE GLUE THAT NEEDS TO BIND ALL THIS TOGETHER – THE GRID INFRASTRUCTURE.
