Senate Bill 448 and Public Works Administration

# data[].attributes.body
The improvement project at hand is titled, "Senate Bill 448." This bill was passed as an effort to support clean energy. This legislature approved the acceleration of a transmission project, electric vehicle infrastructure, and joining of the regional transmission organization (RTO) (Plautz 2021). This project will construct transmission lines that will link the entire state of Nevada and is planned to be completed by 2031 (Plautz 2021). This effort has been made possible by the New Deal's, "Public Works Administration" that was founded in 1933 (PWA 2017). Essentially, The Public Works Administration centered on projects related to highways, buildings, conservation, energy, housing and more (PWA 2017). This administration was pivotal as it radically transformed the nation's major infrastructure and continues to influence the construction of projects (PWA 2017).

- Environmental benefits of this project include creating a renewable energy highway and access to rich-renewable energy of undeveloped renewable resources that otherwise could not be attainable (NV Energy, 2021). Another environmental benefit is that it diversifies Nevada's renewable portfolio and creates access to wind and hydro energy that is affordable (NV Energy, 2021).

- This bill is geared towards the economy and is planned to generate $690 million dollars and create over 4,000 jobs (NV Energy, 2021). This bill will meet future energy demands that will lead to economic growth and stability (NV Energy, 2021). Other economic benefits include diversification in investments for business interested in clean energy and supports underserved communities by creating jobs in rural areas (NV Energy, 2021).

-This project will improve the overall system reliability because it will provide a transmission connection that will open up electric delivery capacity and allow the sharing of resources between northern and southern Nevada (NV Energy, 2021).

This investment in Greenlink Nevada of $2.5 billion will generate $690 million and 4,000 jobs as it will allow the development of renewable energy that will contribute towards an additional 2,000 construction jobs (NV Energy, 2021). It will also drive diversification in the Nevadan economy and create access in affordable clean energy across Nevada (NV Energy, 2021). This will be made possible by using renewable energy zones in Nevada to increase electric reliability (NV Energy, 2021). This legislation targets economic benefits and also addresses the climate crisis.
