There is plenty of transmission line capacity between SoCal and Oregon and Washington. Thousands of MegaWatts routinely goes one way or the other between those locations. There is the DC Pacific Interie (1 MV DC) between Celilo Oregon (near Bonneville Dam) and Sylmar, Calif (near Los Angeles) alone has a capacity of 3,100 MW, and the AC Pacific Intertie (multiple lines at 500 KV) has a capacity of 4,800 MW. Additionally there are a bunch of other 500KV AC and 220 KV AC lines that provide additional routes and capacities. 73 ----- Jim Walls - K6CCC [email protected] _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
