Other energy sources need to be developed

Although the project doesn't directly affect Cayuga County, the announcement this week that the U.S. Department of Energy plans to move forward with two huge electrical transmission projects makes us a bit nervous about the future of reliable energy and how it will be delivered.

One of two corridors deemed to be of “national interest” by the DOE will run through parts of New York, despite vocal opposition by citizens and elected officials alike.

The idea is to deliver reliable electricity to New York City and other metropolitan areas.
