LCG, February 20, 2026--The EIA today issued an "in-brief analysis" that estimates U.S. power plant developers and operators plan to complete a record installation of 86 GW of new, utility-scale electric generating capacity that is connected to the U.S. power grid in 2026. Last year, 53 GW of new capacity was added to the grid, which was the largest capacity installation in a single year since 2002. Thus the estimate of 86 GW of new capacity in 2026 is a whopping 33 GW greater than the year prior. It should be noted that over 20 GW of the 86 GW of new capacity this year is estimated to be completed in December.

Bonneville Puts $5,000 Price on Insulator Shooter’s Head
LCG, Aug. 29, 2000--The Bonneville Power Administration has boosted the amount of the reward on its wanted poster for the gunman who has been shooting out insulators on its 230 kilovolt transmission line near Shelton, Wash.Information leading to the arrest and conviction of the miscreant will earn $5,000. Bonnevilles patience is growing short, as one or more trigger-happy rifle-toters have shot out insulators on the same line three times in one month. So far, the company estimates the damage will cost about $10,000 to repair."This is a serious situation due to the high voltages carried by this line and the number of peopleusing the area for recreation," said Jeff Millennor, Bonneville security specialist. "Electricity traveling in the ground from a downed line can electrocute people as far away as 100 feet or more."Bonneville has a crime witness program that protects the identity of informants, but if we knew who was doing it we would stand on the courthouse steps and tell the world. That person is (or those people are) giving honest folks who own shooting irons a bad name.
