“Today, large-scale build-out of transmission infrastructure will get more clean energy on the grid faster than any other step we can take. Unfortunately, roadblocks to transmission expansion remain. Building the modernized grid we need will generate high-quality jobs here in the U.S. Almost all transmission work—construction, O&M work, transmission planning, engineering, logistics— is domestic. New transmission infrastructure will benefit the IBEW and the communities we serve across the country and create tens of thousands of good paying, union jobs.” — Bob Dean, Business Manager, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) 1245
