The
Sun Zia renewable transmission line was approved by secretary of Interior Sally Jewel today at a ceremony at Sandia national labs. Sen. Martin Heinrich and Congressman Ben Ray Lujan along with the Secretary and Defense Department representatives announced the decision much to the chagrin of Congressman Steve Pearce who for some reason thinks renewable energy transmission will threaten our national defense.
This transmission line across hundreds of miles in New Mexico will inject close to 1000 jobs in construction and 100 permanent jobs upon completion. The power transmitted will come from renewable energy sources, solar and wind, and will be sent to markets across the southwest.
The announcement was held at the large solar complex south of the Sandia National Labs. Between the bright day and reflected solar arrays....everything looked slightly blue to the camera.
