Wind and solar energy are bad investments. They are costly, intermittent, undependable, eat up an unconscionable amount of farmland, as well as being unsightly and a hazard to wildlife. They require energy storage technology we are unable to deploy at a reasonable cost.
Nuclear energy is also zero carbon, is dependable and scaleable, and does not require energy storage facilities that do not exist. Anyone who believes climate change is an existential threat, that reducing carbon emissions is a necessary step toward reducing the threat, and won't consider nuclear power as an option, is a hypocrite and a liar.
This project might not be a boondoggle if it strengthens and helps secure the energy grid as a whole, but it does not appear to do that. To create an electrical backbone across the Midwest is not putting our money, attention, and efforts where they are most needed and where we will see a real return on investment. Fix the grid. Strengthen it and secure it from both accidental failure and attacks. Don't waste time and money where they are not truly needed.
Sounds to me like it is exactly what the Missouri AG says it is, a waste of taxpayer money and a land grab that will hurt farmers and line the pockets of those that want to push it through. Shut it down!
One question that comes to mind is, if this project is so vital, necessary and beneficial , why doesn’t private equity come up with the $4.9 billion needed? If private investors have no interest in this project sans government subsidy, that tells you all you need to know about whether this project is so vital, necessary or beneficial.
I’m listening to Andrew Bailey’s interview now on Shawn Ryan’s podcast—to middle America with many family farms in our bloodlines this isn’t just interesting it’s life & death.
They put a bunch of solar farms here in maine and everyone's electricity went up. The people that signed up for solar can't get out of their contracts easily or at all in some cases. It doesn't matter what we want or need they do whatever they want. Our state (maine) voted against the cmp corridor and they are "building" it anyways we also have a bunch of wind farms don't know if they actually do anything but we got them. 🙄🤦♀️
Since this is to combat climate change, and Trump says climate change is a hoax, Trump has to cancel any green project that is suppose to limit climate change.

Definitely DOGE must investigate all programs and projects like this! Farmers and their land passed down to families must be protected.
They need to do this!
