Dear Carol,
Thanks for doing what you’re doing! I have just gotten involved with an advocacy group in Delaware that is trying to understand all of the details associated with a choice before DE’s Public Services Commission right now. They want to bring 600 MW of new power online, and put out an RFP– received three: one new 600 MW natural gas plant, one new 600 MW IGCC plant, to be sited on a “brownfield” (somewhere within the existing company’s footprint of their other coal-fired burners known collectively as the Indian River Power Plant in Millsboro, DE, and third: 600 MW of wind, to be placed 6 miles off the Delaware shore, in the Atlantic Ocean.
I have a pretty good idea about which of these three you (or most other citizens) would choose; but I want to make our arguments against IGCC rock solid. Can you provide me some sort of “roadmap” through the great volume of material that you have here, to help me get to the deal-killers for a PSC considering IGCC? I’d love to raise the questions of cost that you lay out; though, as our site is a “brownfield”, we may not be able to rely on your estimates (I have the sense this is a “greenfield” facility at Mesaba).
We would ideally like to put together a comparative analysis of impacts, costs/benefits for each of the three proposals. Any figures or information that you have, or could point me toward, would be greatly appreciated.
I can be reached by email: sumcrosby@verizon.net
or by phone: eves: 610-380-5942, cell: 302-547-4132
I look forward to learning as much as possible from you! We all need to work together to fight this very essential fight!

Carol,
How are you? Haven’t heard for awhile. Kristen and I (and kids) are still in New Zealand, but last weekend we drove by a Geothermal energy facility and thought of you and the Micheletti’s. We decided that when Mesaba fails, Tom, Pat and Julie could do a geothermal project next as they are closer to Hades than anyone else I personally know.

Dear Carol,
A proposed coal gasification power plant and refinery on the pristine coast of Maine has a lot of folks here concerned. We’d like to think our legislators, who just vote for a Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, would be focusing on mandatory carbon capture and sequestration requirements. Do you “90% carbon capture” requirement on new coal plants? Could you send an electronic copy? It would be most helpful.

The situation is not improving and it looks as if the power company is going to prevail
