It's unfortunate these slides aren't working today because there's this beautiful map that shows you basically transmission lines that are in various stages of proposals and being built throughout the country, and a large number of them are in the desert southwest. Unfortunately, a Current transmission network is built to go to places that have coal deposits, go to places that have natural gas deposits. It's not necessarily going to the areas that are best for solar or wind generation. And so if we really want to increase our percentage of those renewable energy sources, we have to build the transmission capacity to get it to our population centers. (11:07–11:17)
