Senate Panel Finishes Transmission Title, Postpones Debate on Emissions Standard

摘要

The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee May 14 completed work on the transmission title of a broad-based energy bill that would give federal regulators the right of eminent domain to site high-priority electricity transmission lines across the country.rnThe legislation is seen as an important piece of Democrats' efforts to connect new renewable energy sources to the electricity grid as part of a shift to a clean-energy economy.
