      <description><![CDATA[DENVER, COLORADO--March 10, 2010--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Building transmission lines in the U.S. is often a prolonged exercise in futility.  A gridlock of federal, tribal, state, and local regulations has delayed the construction of new sources of electric generation, including wind and other forms of <a href="http://www.industrialinfo.com/prodserv/prodserv.jsp?pagerequest=renewables&tab=A" target="_blank">renewable energy</a>, agreed speakers at the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) workshop, which was held March 2-3 in Denver.  Transmission line projects take an average of 10 years to develop, according to AWEA.  More than 25 states have enacted renewable electricity standards (RES), but meeting these state standards, as well as a potential federal RES mandate, will be almost impossible unless something is done to speed the siting and construction of transmission lines.]]></description>

      <title>Northrop Grumman &amp; EADS Bow Out of $35 Billion Air Force Tanker Contract Bid</title>
      <link>http://www.industrialinfo.com/showNews.jsp?newsitemID=157084</link>
      <description><![CDATA[SUGAR LAND--March 10, 2010--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--For nearly a decade, the Air Force has been attempting to replace its aging refueling tanker fleet. Beginning in 2001, the Air Force began the bidding process for replacements, but delays and controversy marred the process, resulting in two awards for contracts that were eventually canceled. This process has only highlighted the conflict between <a href="http://financialmarkets.industrialinfo.com/industrialinfo./quote?Symbol=ba" target="_blank">The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA)</a> (Chicago, Illinois) and <a href="http://financialmarkets.industrialinfo.com/industrialinfo./quote?Symbol=noc" target="_blank">Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC)</a> (Los Angeles, California), the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, which have both won the contract once. Now, citing the latest bid as being tailored to fit Boeing aircraft, making it extremely difficult for anyone else to win, Northrop and the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company NV (EADS) (Leiden, Netherlands), Northrop's joint venture partner, have dropped out of the race, virtually handing the $35 billion contract to Boeing.]]></description>
