Opinion
Hamilton: Some transmission developers need tax credits, not permitting reform
“Like, there are some companies that are building transmission lines that don't need permitting reform, that instead actually need an investment tax credit.”
Katherine Hamilton Aug 10, 2022 ▶ 18:26 America is finally doing something big on climate
Jan 19, 2023 bullish
Assertion Partly supported
Shah: Reconductoring existing lines provides all needed US grid transmission capacity
“You can reconductor all of the existing lines and get all of the existing, All the new transmission capacity that you need. We have reports out of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory that say that. We have, like, private sector and geo reports, et cetera, that say th…”
Jigar Shah Jan 19, 2023 ▶ 29:12 The make-or-break moment for America’s energy transition

Assertion Partly supported
Tomlinson: Texas transmission lines cost about $1M per mile
“And it's about a million dollars a mile to run a transmission line in Texas.”
Chris Tomlinson Jun 1, 2023 ▶ 16:18 Why Texas Republicans are trying to crush wind and solar
Jul 20, 2023 bullish
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Naam: Clean electricity will beat fossil fuels if permitting opens up
“Like, in an open playing field, if it's easier to build pipelines and transmission lines, Clean electricity is going to win.”
Ramez Naam Jul 20, 2023 ▶ 18:52 What’s the next big trend in clean energy?
May 21, 2024 positive
Assertion Supported
Solomon: Advanced conductors can be deployed in 18 to 36 months
“You can replace the existing transmission conductor with this new advanced conductor in as little as 18 to 36 months with much fewer permitting requirements and things like that.”
Michelle Solomon May 21, 2024 ▶ 39:48 Energy is now the ‘primary bottleneck’ for AI
Apr 9, 2025 negative
Insight
EMF sensors proved inefficient for monitoring multi-conductor transmission corridors
“You can imagine trying to use EMF sensors to isolate the signal from each of those individual conductors and all the complicated map that goes into it. And long story short, that got really messy really quickly and was not kind of an efficient way to get the i…”

Apr 9, 2025 neutral
Assertion Supported
Wind's cooling effect has the biggest impact on transmission line capacity
“It turns out that it's the cooling effect of wind that actually has the biggest impact on the capacity of the line, and so understanding wind at a really accurate hyperlocal level allows us to understand what that true capacity is”
Karthik Rao Apr 9, 2025 ▶ 6:17 LineVision's quest to win over utilities
Apr 9, 2025 bullish
Assertion Supported
LineVision's sensor technology increases transmission line capacity by up to 40 percent
“LineVision has a technology, it's a combination of soft Square and sensors that allows us to increase the capacity of a transmission line by up to 40% or more without having to either reconductor the line or build new lines.”
Karthik Rao Apr 9, 2025 ▶ 4:56 LineVision's quest to win over utilities
