http://www.wvgazette.com/News/200809100852 "We've gotten our state in the best shape we've ever had in the history of our state," Manchin told Gazette editors Wednesday. Meanwhile, Mountain Party candidate Jesse Johnson said the state has lost direction and failed to fulfill its social contract with the people. "I'm concerned about the direction which our state and our nation has taken," said Johnson, an actor/director who was also the small party's gubernatorial candidate in 2004. "Business as usual is very dangerous." He said state government needs to be accountable. "We're not seeing the kind of leadership we significantly need," he said. Manchin stressed new coal technologies, including a planned $800 million coal-to-liquids facility in the Northern Panhandle, as an important step toward energy independence. Johnson dismissed the project as an expensive "experiment" and chastised Manchin for approving up to $200 million in tax credits for the project. "Why would we continue investments in areas that are not popular with the people, that are not conducive with fighting global warming, and will continue to bury our headwaters?" Johnson asked. "Johnson said he believes West Virginia can be a key energy state, but said the focus should be on developing the "tremendous potential" for wind, solar and other alternative energy sources." http://www.wvgazette.com/News/200809100852

Fw: Allegheny Energy Files Proposal on Pennsylvania Transmission Project
by James Kotcon 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Bill, et al. I think we should file a response in PA to let them know that we oppose TrAILCo and their proposed approval of the 1.2-mile segment between the 502 Junction and the WV State Line. We have filed appeals of the WV certificate approval, and a premature approval of the PA segment would bias consideration of our appeals. Further, it would be useful to fully document TrAILCo's behind-the-scenes negotiations and tactics, and their efforts to cut some opponents out of the process, while buying off others with legalized bribes (using ratepayers money to do it), as happened here. I can draft a letter to that effect, if you think it is useful. Alternatively, a formal legal response might be more appropriate. Whaddya Tink?

Allegheny Energy Files Proposal on Pennsylvania Transmission Project GREENSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2008--Allegheny Energy, Inc. (NYSE:AYE) announced today that its Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line Company (TrAILCo) subsidiary filed a motion with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to defer any decision on a portion of its proposed transmission line project, the Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line. The request will allow the company to pursue a more collaborative process to explore whether there are new and creative alternatives to the proposed 36-mile portion of the 500 kilovolt line in Greene and Washington counties and related facilities. The company's motion also requests that the Commission timely approve a 1.2 mile section of 500 kilovolt line extending from the West Virginia border to a new substation in Greene County, Pennsylvania known as 502 Junction. This portion of the project addresses critical reliability concerns that could adversely impact the mid-Atlantic region, including Pennsylvania electric customers, as early as 2011. The motion is intended to be considered in conjunction with exceptions filed today by TrAILCo in response to two Administrative Law Judges' recent recommendation that the company's application be denied in Pennsylvania. In its exceptions, TrAILCo also explicitly asks the Commission to reverse the recommended decision of the Judges and approve the 1.2 mile segment between the West Virginia state line and 502 Junction.

Fwd: Public News Service-WVNS story for September 10, 2008 Help Wanted Report: 12, 000

fyi, paul ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Public News Service <wvns(a)publicnewsservice.org> Date: Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 10:58 AM Subject: Public News Service-WVNS story for September 10, 2008 Help Wanted Report: 12,000 To: pjgrunt(a)gmail.com Public News Service-WV September 10, 2008 Help Wanted Report: 12,000 New Jobs for West Virginia Charleston, WV – The lure is thousands of new jobs, combined with a "cure" for climate change, pollution, and a broken economy. A new report from the University of Massachusetts documents how investing in a "green" economy would create more than 12,000 good-paying jobs in West Virginia, and bring benefits to taxpayers as well as to the environment. The study sets up a $100 billion investment scenario, with most of the money coming from climate change pollution cap-and-trade investments. Cathy Duvall with the Sierra Club says the time is right for investing in an eco-friendly economic stimulus. "This report really demonstrates that the solutions to the problems of climate change and a struggling economy are both intertwined and within our grasp." Duvall argues that doing the same old things on energy and economic policies isn't going to reverse the current situation, and a whole new approach would benefit working families. "By addressing our country's energy crisis and the high cost of oil, we can create manufacturing and other jobs to replace some of the more than 600,000 jobs lost in this last year alone." The study shows jobs created would include steelworkers, machinists, roofers and accountants. Critics of the report say the numbers are "overly optimistic" and wouldn't meet growing energy demand. The report was written by the Political Economy Research Institute and commissioned by the Center for American Progress. The full report is available online at www.peri.umass.edu.

fyi, paul time to get in some stories ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Public NewsService Web Site <wvns(a)publicnewsservice.org> Date: Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 12:31 PM Subject: September story calendar gathering To: pjgrunt(a)gmail.com Hi there! We're putting together the story calendar for September....please let me know if you have events/reports/reax to national news or local news/campaigns/initiatives that are in the public interest. We have openings on the story calendar as soon as MONDAY. I also have some thoughts to share to help in brainstorming - I received a tip sheet from a mental health group about dealing with the mental health aspects of the foreclosure crisis - something that has not been addressed in the news, but is important since a home is more than a building. The loss is a big mental health issue for some people, and children. Congress is back to work - and there are a lot of things on the plate you might be following, it's a good time for a story. Farmers are "flying in" to Congress next week - to talk about the Farm Bill, and trying to make sure it doesn't get dismantled with "rule making." I like to call it the Food and Farm Bill - since there are topics in the bill that touch every one of us. Conventions are over, the campaign trail is hot - are Americans hearing what they need to hear on their personal crises: health care, economy. Kids are back in school - surprises for parents, teachers, administrators? Step Up for Kids is September 16 The public is using libraries more as the economy weakens, basically "free" entertainment. It's National Suicide Prevention Week - a topic still tainted by stigma and lack of mental health resources. Statistics show young people, especially those in college, entertain thoughts of suicide at a high rate. The suicide rate is also very high for Iraq war vets. September is...National Healthy Aging Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, Hunger Action Month, National Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, National Preparedness Month, ADHD Awareness Month, Baby Safety Month, Backpack Safety America Month, Library Card Sign-Up Month, Patriot Day is September 11th, Citizenship/Constitution Day is September 17th, America's Day for Kids is September 20th - I have a LONG list of these notes, which can be used as "pegs" for stories on related topics that you might be following.

State Public Utility Commission administrative law judges Mark A. Hoyer and Michael A. Nemec gave a scolding rebuke to the utility over its plans for the 37-mile, 500-kilovolt power line, saying it wasn't needed. They added that a companion project for a power line from Greene County to Virginia was an effort to ship "cheaper coal-fired generation" along an "energy superhighway" to the east. The judges, whose recommendation will be considered by the five-member PUC commission next month, also took issue with the power company over its wisdom to situate the massive power lines near so many residences, its lack of research on environmental impacts, and its disregard for the affects of electromagnetic fields. The $1.1 billion project could be scuttled if the PUC denies the Greensburg-based company's application to build the power lines in Pennsylvania, because even though West Virginia approved the project earlier this month -- and Virginia is on track to do so, too -- both states have said the project won't get the final go-ahead until it's been approved by all three states. The 364-page recommendation released Aug. 21 was "very disappointing," said company spokesman Doug Colafella. It's even more of a let-down, Mr. Colafella said, because the proposed rejection contrasts so much from the decision to approve the project in West Virginia and a recommendation to do so in Virginia. "They agreed it's needed -- that's why we're so terribly disappointed in the Pennsylvania decision," he said, referring to opinions from other states. The judges even warned against approving the Allegheny Energy subsidiary, Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line Co., or TrAILCo as it is known, as a public utility, saying it was an out-of-state corporation with no full-time employees or discernible assets. Allegheny Energy is the parent company of Allegheny Power, and the TrAILCo subsidiary was created to oversee and implement transmission line projects. Although West Virginia Public Service Commission officials at first advised against the project with a long list of concerns, the state worked out an agreement with the company which called for changes in a portion of the selected route, up to 150 new jobs for the state, and certain other perks, like a seven-year reprieve from higher electric bills. West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin also has said he would like to find a way to tax the profits on the power line. Locally, the proposed project would involve the construction of an electric substation in North Strabane called Prexy, which would connect transmission lines on massive towers to another new substation called the 502 Junction -- 36 miles away in Dunkard, Greene County. The Prexy station also would include three smaller 138-kilovolt power lines to service local customers. The second portion of the line would start at the 502 Junction, travel 1.2 miles to the West Virginia border, and continue about 240 miles through West Virginia and into Northern Virginia. The Virginia part of the line would be built by Dominion Virginia Power. The target completion date is 2011. In its approval of the multistate project, the West Virginia PSC cites the regional nature of the venture -- something not mentioned in the report by Mr. Hoyer and Mr. Nemec. Mr. Colafella said the provincial attitude of the Pennsylvania judges shouldn't stand in the way of the project. "[West Virginia] agreed that you can't look at a regional project in a vacuum," he said. Mr. Colafella may have a point, because if the PUC board denies the application -- a decision is expected in late September or October -- the company could lobby the federal government to approve the project anyway. It's part of the Energy Act of 2005, which includes a provision allowing the federal government to override state decisions regarding the location of transmission lines. Spawned by the 2003 blackout in the Northeast, the Act also allows the federal government to seize private property by eminent domain. The U.S. Department of Energy designated a National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor over a large swath of the Northeast, including 52 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. It is within that corridor that the federal government is permitted to take action. Lawmakers, including U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, have been trying to overturn that part of the Act for months, including during a recent hearing of the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, when Mr. Casey, D-Pa., targeted Allegheny Power for its tactics to sway homeowners to sell rights-of-way for the project. Agents acting on the company's behalf were accused of pressuring and misinforming homeowners about the project. Without admitting guilt, the company fired one of its land contractors after the charges came to light. The PUC also has filed suit to reduce the size and scope of the corridors. In their recommended denial of the project, Mr. Nemec and Mr. Hoyer called the proposed Prexy line "a grandiose answer to a minor or even non-existent problem," saying the company's claims that rolling brownouts and blackouts could occur within the next several years are exaggerated. The four scenarios cited by the company which they said could lead to power failures are based on at least two things going wrong simultaneously, which is not a standard measure for reliability and could be addressed by far less drastic measures, the judges said. "Based on our review of the entire record, we have concluded that little or no need for reinforcement ...exists and/or non-intrusive options are available, and probably should have been put in place before now," said the opinion. As for the larger multistate project, the judges said a failure by Virginia to address a lack of power generation isn't Pennsylvania's problem. "Granting approval of the 502 Junction [to Virginia] segment at this juncture rewards a lack of foresight and proper maintenance, and has policy implications for the location of future generation..." they said. "Non-transmission alternatives were not considered." Members of the grass roots Energy Conservation Council of Pennsylvania were happy with the recommendation. "We are understandably pleased with the conclusion of the judges, who confirmed that these lines are not needed for reliability -- and are not in the best interest of Pennsylvania," the group said in a statement. "The future of Pennsylvania's energy independence is dependent on forward-thinking, clear-eyed decisions such as this." The judges also were critical of the company's selected route for the power line from Prexy to the 502 Junction, saying that among the four options considered, the route chosen contains the highest number of residences with 500 feet of the power line and would require the clearing of 448 acres of forest. The company failed to consider using the Interstates 70 and 79 corridors and has not sought approval from other state agencies, such as the state Department of Environmental Protection. In response to the numerous health concerns expressed by property owners, the judges discredited a TrAILCo expert who said that electromagnetic field evidence is insufficient to conclude that high-voltage power lines have any long-term health effects by pointing out that he was not an epidemiologist and therefore was unqualified to make such a determination. They cited findings by the International Agency for Research and Cancer and the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, which have said electromagnetic fields are considered to be possible carcinogens with respect to childhood leukemia. The judges expressed concern about herbicides that would be used to control vegetation beneath the power lines, and questioned the company's request to be exempt from local zoning regulations, saying that no detailed plans of the substations or transmission towers were submitted. They also urged the PUC board not to allow the company the authority to seize private property for the project, as it had requested. The company and other interested parties have the opportunity to file exceptions to the decision and then replies to those exceptions. Exceptions are due Sept. 10 and replies are due Sept. 22. Mr. Colafella said the company is "intensely focused" on crafting its response, which will reiterate the need for the project. "We stand by both projects because we feel they are needed," he said. "We need new lines. That's what it really comes down to, whether you want them in your backyard or not."

Is this true? Where does that leave our appeal of the air permit? Will DEP drop it or do we still need to fight this out? I would feel much better if the air permit were actually revoked, but I will take em any way we can get em.

Western Greenbrier CoGen plant is dead I received word from Jim Zoia's office that the DOE has declared that the project "is not moving forward." That's the third coal fired power plant we have defeated in the Greenbrier Valley.
