Transmission lines don't make electricity, but they will bring more electricity into the market -- a lot of power generation is curtailed b/c of lack of transmission, so more transmission will reduce curtailment which means more electricity!
Lol TPPF did a whole study and found out that power lines don't make electricity.

"Handy Man" from @NiceJazzFest in 1999. youtu.be/GrqCuxkLU7M Did you spot a young Jimmy Johnson playing bass? By this point, he'd been with James for 9 years already, after being introduced by drummer Carlos Vega. #JT #JamesTaylor #NiceJazzFestival

49 years ago, Reverend Jesse Jackson made history on the steps of Sesame Street by reciting the poem, "I Am Somebody." Today we highlight these words as a reminder that we must continue to make history and fight for equality and justice for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #TBT

It started as a Marvin Gaye cover, but by the time they kicked off their legendary four-night run at the Academy of Music in 1971, The Band had transformed "Don't Do It" into the definitive anthem of the Rock of Ages and Live at the Academy of Music albums. Driven by Rick Danko’s bounding bass and Levon Helm’s teeth-clinched vocals, this performance captures the group at the absolute peak of their live powers. We're taking you back to 14th Street for the next four days to celebrate this historic residency. #AcademyOfMusic71

Let there be songs to fill the air 🌬️🎶

"One of the most-loved Grateful Dead songs, ‘Ripple’ was one of the many standouts on ‘American Beauty.’ It was played 11 times between 1970 & 1971, and then dropped until it returned in 1980, played as the set-closing song every night during the Dead's acoustic sets. It made one final appearance on 9/3/88 in Landover, MD, before being retired for good." - David Lemieux

Watch the full performance of the tune from the final night of the Dead’s Radio City Music Hall run in October, 1980 on the Grateful Dead @YouTube channel.

Martin Scorsese didn’t know how to end GOODFELLAS (1990). He had Henry break the fourth wall, turning to the camera, admitting his new life as a “schnook.” When asked why he did it, Scorsese said: “Couldn’t think of any other thing to do.”

Here is legendary Dave Fricke writing in MOJO about the new boxset reissue of the Replacements' 'Let It Be'. Incredible to be mentioned in a piece by someone I grew up reading. An amazing feeling overall to be a part of this @Rhino_Records passion project. mojo4music.com/articles/new-…
