To the Editor:

Re “We Desperately Need a New Electrical Grid. Here’s How to Make It Happen” (editorial, May 7):

Kudos for recognizing that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is the agency best equipped to consider and approve proposals to build long-distance interstate electric transmission needed to deliver affordable but remote renewable energy to where it is needed. Otherwise, America will not be able to decarbonize our grid or our economy.

Fortunately, the proposed Streamlining Interstate Transmission of Electricity (SITE) Act would provide F.E.R.C. the authority it needs to help solve this problem.
