Delaware “Energy Plan” Comments due TODAY
March 15th, 2009
The Delaware PSC in action, May 2007, saying NO to NRG’s coal gasification proposal.
Delaware’s “Governors Energy Advisory Council” of Toadies and Lobbyists has published what’s called an “Energy Plan.” It’s pretty awful, a hodgepodge of random thoughts that has no budget allocated. It sounds like it was written by Delmarva Power and NRG. So what will happen? Not much, given its stream of unconsciousness ramblings — the justifications below each recommendation are sometimes utterly nonsensical … BUT… that’s what they put out.
COMMENTS ARE DUE TODAY! I know, Sunday, that’s weird, but when Alan called about it that’s what they said, so…
Check the plan and write up something QUICK and send it to:

David Morris – Grids and Grids
March 12th, 2009
Last week, David Morris had a great transmission piece in Grist — I’ve been sick, in la-la-land, and am just catching up:
Grids and grids
A smart grid, yes. A new national grid, no.
Posted by David Morris (Guest Contributor) at 11:19 AM on 04 Mar 2009
The new mantra in energy circles is “national smart grid.”
In the New York Times, Al Gore insists the new president should give the highest priority to “the planning and construction of a unified national smart grid.” President Barack Obama, responding to a question by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, declares that one of “the most important infrastructure projects that we need is a whole new electricity grid … a smart grid.”
Allright, America…
