But we aren’t doing that. Not even close. America has somehow slowed down its rate of new transmission construction over the past decade; last year, the U.S. built only 386 miles of new transmission capacity.”
The Climate Pledge Turns Three And Calls For Action At Climate Week NYC
By Carolina Milanesi, Forbes, Sept 22, 2022

It raises the interest of other companies that are considering joining and gets the public sector's attention leading to fruitful collaborations in some of the projects The Climate Pledge is undertaking across several cities in the world. "One of the things that we try really hard to do with The Climate Pledge and one of the things that differentiates us from other groups with similar goals is that we try to be a place where the good work is highlighted so others can follow suit," says Fouts.”
