REDSTATE (Ward Clark) - Alaska's Power Grid Is More Like an Extension Cord. Energy Dept Intends to Fix That.
Alaska is a state with a lot of empty places. A major north-south route here in the Great Land is the George Parks Highway (Alaska Route 3), which runs from the Matanuska-Susitna town of Palmer north to Fairbanks. In fact, it's not just a major north-south route in this part of the state, it's the only north-south route in his part of the state, aside from a few side roads. The Parks Highway is also parallel to the Susitna Valley's electrical grid, which is basically a single line, also carrying electricity from the Anchorage area to Fairbanks.
What action does the Energy Department intend to take regarding Alaska's power grid?
The Energy Department intends to fix the current state of Alaska's power grid, which is currently described as being more like an extension cord due to its limited infrastructure.
