Each team will facilitate Federal field office coordination on regional infrastructure priorities including passenger rail, renewable energy, electricity transmission, oil and gas production, and drought mitigation.
But it wouldn't just be an airport - the ambitious plans for a Thames Hub would bring together rail, freight logistics, aviation, energy and its transmission, flood protection as well as regional development.
And in the next version of the National Infrastructure Plan, it might want to provide a proper vision for the development of the country's infrastructure networks covering energy generation and transmission, South East runway capacity, national and international freight connectivity and high-speed communication networks.
Advantages include energy security, price stability, less demand (because less energy is lost in transmission), and fewer emissions because most distributed generation is renewable energy.

Pair that with Powermat receivers in your electronics to get a wireless transmission of energy to your device.
Adapting the electricity grid, for example, to use more alternative energy may require new transmission lines for which approval can take years.
The loan guarantee program at issue allows the Energy Department to help finance certain renewable energy projects, electric transmission systems and bio-fuels projects that begin construction no later than September 30, 2011.
The third technology is the combination of the first two: that is, the rapid storage and rapid transmission of electrical energy.
Even with the Energy Department's designated transmission zones, the idea is that utility companies will first seek approval from state authorities to site a power line.
It could facilitate investments in electric grid improvements that enable long-distance transmission of renewable energy, as well as provide consistent long-term policy on grid upgrades and electric vehicle charging that makes utility investments predictably worthwhile.
FORBES: Why "Green Jobs" Don't Belong in Obama's Jobs Program
At a Wednesday forum in Washington on electricity delivery, organized by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, a crowd of several hundred in a hotel ballroom mulled the big changes ahead when it comes to energy efficiency, production, transmission and regulation.
Only after the Congress has had an opportunity to consider the results of such analyses and understands the broader strategic implications of Chevron, in effect, becoming a long-term partner with Moscow in the extraction, processing, and transmission of Soviet energy resources for sale to the West -- only then should the ultimate destiny of the Chevron joint venture be decided.
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY: US-Soviet Joint Ventures: The Camel's Nose Under The Tent
He told the participants in a geothermal energy conference what needs to be done to boost geothermal and other renewable energy projects more tax credits and loan guarantees, more funding for transmission, a Federally mandated renewable energy minimum, and a price on carbon.
This truck has an all-hydraulic transmission that stores braking energy and uses it to turn the wheels.
The Chevy Volt, however, is never powered by mechanical energy--it has no transmission.
We take off-the-shelf IT and Internet technology and transform the power grid and electricity transmission lines into an energy Internet.
In the end, the companies now have to build more transmission to allow competing energy to flow more freely into Carolinas where the two are based.
He also stressed that the enhanced planning is technology neutral, meaning planners should consider alternatives to building transmission lines, including energy storage technologies and distributed generation, where energy generating devices are placed close to demand.
If NRDC is worried about bad outcomes, they could easily push for smart fixes to these policies, rather than categorically rejecting legislation that might include critical steps forward, including expanded transmission access to renewable energy zones, a vehicle electrification push, or the promotion of advanced, non-grain biofuels.
Science and technology are at the heart of expanding the universe of clean energy options and increasing the efficiency of transmission and generation.

An upgrade of the U.S. electricity transmission system to enable wind energy to flow from the middle of the country toward the coasts.
In part as a result of these concerns, individual Soviet republics have begun to object to Moscow's dictates concerning the rapid extraction, processing, and transmission and sale of Soviet energy resources.
With little inertia, friction or drag, the wheel can be spun up to speed in a trice, and then made to dump its rotational energy back into the car's transmission in seconds.
Yet rather than work through back channels or phase in the price increases, it briefly cut off Ukraine's energy supply and began reducing pressure in transmission lines that carry supplies to western Europe.
But what sets its ConsERV technology apart, aside from a more compact and flexible form factor, is that independent testing has shown it delivers higher rates of moisture transmission, translating into better energy efficiency.
"We didn't have a failure in the generation of energy, we had a problem in the transmission line, " Mr Lula said.
