NEWS ADVISORY:
SOLAR, WIND INDUSTRIES TO UNVEIL WHITE PAPER
ON GREEN TRANSMISSION SUPERHIGHWAY

President Obama has called for the United States to double the production of renewable energy in three years and to obtain 25% of its electricity from renewable resources by 2025.  Achieving this vision will require a cohesive effort from local, state, and federal officials and significant new investment in our transmission infrastructure.  This paper will highlight the barriers that hinder investment in transmission infrastructure and identify potential policy solutions to overcome those barriers.

Mr. Resch and Ms. Bode will highlight key points and take questions from journalists over the phone.
