We would be paying for RICL’s folly
Lately, I’ve been hearing the term “Bridge to Nowhere” used in reference to the 500-mile-long DC transmission line the private company Rock Island Clean Line is proposing across Iowa and Illinois prime farmland.
The phrase refers to the fear RICL will get this power line erected at the rate of $2,000 per mile only to find it has no western “clean energy” to transmit or no market to sell expensive electricity to on the eastern end.
