Tres Amigas Transmission Station

The Houston Chronicle is reporting on New Mexico's Tres Amigas SuperStation in Clovis, N.M., which would interconnect the country's three massive power grids and help address significant barriers to the use of alternative energy in the U.S.  "Tres Amigas would build a triangular pathway of underground superconductor pipelines, combined with AC/DC converters that synchronize the flow of power between the interconnections. The equipment allows electricity to be transferred from grid to grid."
