Sen. Josh Hawley said he has a commitment from Energy Secretary Wright to stop a loan guarantee that the Energy Department had previously offered to the company Invenergy. That company was ready to build an $11 billion transmission line from Kansas windmills to Indiana and Illinois. The line would cross Missouri. The governor of Missouri and Missouri senator Josh Hawley want it killed.
Trump is all in on this, since he doesn’t like electrical power generated by windmills.
It is difficult to believe how stupid and short-sighted these guys are. By the way, one of the reasons they say they opposed the transmission line was because it could use eminent domain for the right-of-way. They have no problem with using eminent domain for fracking gas pipelines, however.
I speak from experience on that one.
