East Coast Governors STAND UP AGAIN!
July 13th, 2010
YEAAAAAAAA! The East Coast Governors are mad as hell and letting the Senate know just what they think of this Midwest plan to build billions and billions of dollars of transmission from here to the East Coast and make them pay for it, oh yes, it’s about time the Midwest schemers start listening.
The Des Moines Register is paying attention — why not Minnesota papers?
And here’s the letter itself, pretty much the same spirit as the last one, although I don’t see the directly stated link to coal in this one:
Here’s a pithy snippet:
This comes not too far on the heels of some promotional announcements about those transmission plans, the “not so” SMARTransmission study — I though I’d posted this before, but don’t see it, so here it is:
How’s this for a vision/nightmare — it’s one of their chosen three:
PSEG’s Izzo disses Midwest Transmission
September 30th, 2009
Did I hear that right???
I’m fighting with PSEG out in New Jersey, representing Stop the Lines on the Susquehanna Roseland transmission line. PSEG can be vile… but on this one point, PSEG’s Ralph Izzo is right. Now, if we can just get him to be consistent.
Transmission is not rocket science, and Izzo statements reflect that he understands what Midwest transmission is all about — $$$ and coal. He and PSEG have joined the many who are standing up to Midwest transmission plans. Now, is the Midwest paying attention? As PUC Chair Boyd said at the last Legislative Energy Commission meeting, they need a solid business plan. Guess what — they don’t have one, DUH!!!! There’s no market (Doesn’t Chair Boyd or anyone else in the room think there’s something a little too cozy about Boyd advocating for transmission with MISO???).
Today at a conference, PSEG’s Izzo let loose and let them have it:
Here’s some propaganda from PSEG:
In short:
Now just who does this sound like?!?!?!?! Hilarious… dig this, though he’s not admitting the INTENTIONALITY of the transmission scam:
And this broad view so contradicts their Susquehanna-Roseland transmission plan, which is all about coal from Amos = it’s the NE part of “Line 1” in Project Mountaineer. PSEG, you can’t have it both ways! Let us hope that now that he’s spouting opposition to the Great Midwestern Transmission Scam he’ll see the scam of New Jersey transmission. At least we’ll now have this to use. THANK YOU, RALPH IZZO!
