Fun fact: There were 1,280 gigawatts of clean power projects stuck waiting in queues to connect to the grid as of the end of 2022.
If 50% of those were built, that would be all the new capacity needed to cut US GHGs to 50% of peak levels by 2030 & be on path to net-zero by 2050.

Sad fact: historically, only 24% of projects seeking grid connection from 2000 to 2020 have subsequently been built.
Half glass full fact: we *only* need to double this success rate and we're in business.
