Reply to comment by uasoil123 in HVDC macrogrid would reduce climate pollutants and electricity costs while transmitting low-cost renewable power by manual_tranny
Plenty of companies could profit from this, especially ones running renewable energy production and whoever gets to build the infrastructure.

Hmm I feel like we should get away from profit when it comes to energy use and instead just let the government deal with this.....the government already builds the infrustructure for everything.

I believe the idea is that the government would build the cable network. The profit motive would be to get the bill passed.

I dont see why we need to give private companies any power in controlling our energy infrustructure....why give private companies the same power that oil companies have now...we are having all these issues on moving on because of these oil companies

How is it possible to not give private companies a big stake in energy prices? Federalize all companies that use or produce energy? And even then the government still has a profit motive.

Well let me know when you come up with a solution for fixing the government. Until then, this is what we have.
