they are useing fossil fuel for 10% of grid electricity now, which means they are primed to move most of there transportation sector to electric and then go after manufacturing given that 56% of there generation comes from hydro they can add solar and wind,and treat hydro as a battery and grid load balance and scale as big as they want and very good news from an environmental standpoint

Would you happen to know if any thermal plants are scheduled for retirement with this transmission being energized?
