U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) commented Thursday on the National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor (NIETC) for distribution.
“Over the past several weeks, I’ve been traveling across Kansas, and I’ve heard from many who live and work along the path of the proposed National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor,” said Sen. Moran. “There is concern and opposition.
Their message to federal government is clear: their land is not for sale and is not to be taken.”
If a Kansan would like to offer comments on the proposed transmission line to the Department of Energy, please email: NIETC@hq.doe.gov.
Sen. Moran says he will be introducing legislation that will help protect Kansans private property from being seized by the federal government to build this transmission corridor.
In addition to this legislation, Sen. Moran has been engaged with the Department of Energy, and they have assured Sen. Moran they will continue to accept comments and take them into consideration through the next phase of this proposal.
