Fulfilling President Joe Biden's goal of reducing carbon emissions won’t just take a massive build out of more wind, solar and other renewable energy. It would also require longer, newer transmission lines to take renewable power from where it’s produced to where it’s needed. But utility companies such as Entergy hold a great deal of sway when it comes to planning those new lines, and they’re not always on board. POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse explains.
