New system will feed state's electricity needs

Four governors, including Schwarzenegger, agree to build $20 billion transmission facility and lines.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the governors of Nevada, Utah and Wyoming have agreed to build an estimated $20 billion electricity transmission system to meet rising demand for power, Wyoming's governor said Monday.

Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal said on a conference call the "Frontier Line" system would supply electricity-hungry California - where power demand is growing at about 4 percent annually, or double the national average - with power from nearby energy-producing states.

Fast-growing Las Vegas and Salt Lake City also would be served by the system, which is expected to need up to $5 billion in transmission lines and facilities and up to $15 billion in power plants.
