Canada’s Energy Security Depends on Political Coordination, Not Power Lines: Lourie

Some provinces have connections to exchange electricity when needed—but this is the exception rather than the rule, and they are underutilized where they do exist.

This seems pretty crazy. Canada is the size of California by population, but is split into multiple small grids. Meanwhile, California is part of a huge grid that includes 11 other states, basically everything west of Texas.

Especially with renewables, it seems like Canada should join the grids together as much as possible so there's redundancy.
