Harry Reid Proposes Power Grid Take Over By Feds
3/7/2009
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D, NV) has just proposed that the federal government should take over the power grid in the country so that it might string power lines all across the land. At least that would be the outcome if his new proposal comes to fruition.
Reid wants created by federal fiat new “special power lines to carry renewable energy.” Further, he proposes that these “special power lines” be placed where the federal government says they should be placed. He says that to do this the Federal government would “be able override states” in the placement of these power lines.
The Federal government would be able override states and direct where the lines would go and who would pay for them.
It would be defacto control of the entire power grid by order of Congress.
