President Donald Trump's $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan pays "not enough attention" to significant upgrades needed in the US transmission system, advocates for transmission development and sustainable energy said during webcast Tuesday. "Obviously, the word of the day is infrastructure," said James Hoecker, holding up a newspaper section with that word spread across the page, referring to the White House plan released Monday. Hoecker is senior counsel and energy strategist at the Husch Blackwell law firm; counsel for WIRES, a transmission advocacy group; and a former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. He was speaking during WIRES' joint briefing with the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, a group that focuses on developing a sustainable energy future.
