As conservation organizations continue to fight the National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETC), a new threat looms.

Recent legislatve and policy trends represent new challenges ahead for those working to protect our land and water, wildlife and cherished historic sites from the reckless expansion of transmission.

Most notably, major federal legislation has been introduced that would affect the way in which transmission projects are planned and approved. These proposals along with intense industry lobbying and activity are effectively advancing the nationwide acceleration of transmission construction without consideration of our environment and the landscape.
