Fwd: US Conf. of Mayors Green Jobs Report
by James Kotcon 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

This link gives some pretty good numbers for the number of Green Jobs identified by the US Conference of Mayors. Print a copy and give it to your Mayor. Then ask him/her how many green jobs are in their town. See if they can do some sort of proclamation or photo op for Earth Day. Let's generate some warm fuzzy feelings among our Mayors. JBK P.S. The report does include nuclear power in the category of green jobs, so it is not perfect. But it is a great start. >>> Paula Carrell <Paula.Carrell(a)sierraclub.org> 1/5/2009 7:27 PM >>> --------------------------- cc:Mail Users----------------------------- ** Remember to DELETE the 'Sender: ...' lines above before REPLYing ** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usmayors.org/pressreleases/uploads/GreenJobsReport.pdf This report was mentioned by Kim in her presentation on Green Jobs at the Colloquium.

Re: [EC] AEP DRAFT PERMIT FOR SEQUESTRATION OF CO2

Please let me know what thoughts you have on this issue. BILL, ET AL........... SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMEONE OR SOME ORGANIZATION SHOULD OBJECT BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS. I BELIEVE THAT CO2 SEQUESTRATION HAS NOT BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO BE AN AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY (TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE), PRACTICAL (ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE), SAFE ( NEAR TERM RELIABLE), OR PERMANENT (LONG TERM RELIABLE). THEREFORE, IF THIS APPROACH WERE APPROVED BY THE P.S.C., IT WOULD BE AT SUBSTANTIAL PERIL TO THE STATE. IT WOULD INDICATE TO THE WORLD THAT OUR STATE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY. SUCH APPROVAL WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR A.E.P. TO BUILD THE FACILITY AND THEN TAKE THE POSITION THAT THEY WOULD THEN PRACTICE SEQUESTRATION AS SOON AS IT BECOMES FEASIBLE AND RELIABLE, AND WHO KNOWS WHEN OR WHETHER THIS WILL EVER BE THE CASE. duane nichols **************New year...new news.

AEP DRAFT PERMIT FOR SEQUESTRATION OF CO2 IN MASON COUNTY
by William V. DePaulo, Esq. 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

I am sending by separate email a link to allow you to download the 500+ docs released under the FOIA pertaining to the DEP proposed permit to allow Appalachian Power to inject CO2 at its Mason County "liquids" plant. The hearing for this is scheduled for January 20, 2009. Comments will be accepted through January 30, 2009. I have stated earlier my belief that we should not object, per se, to the issuance of the permit. However, I believe we should insist on complete transparency, i.e., total access by all to the data collected to see if this well effectively captures CO2. Please let me know what thoughts you have on this issue. -- William V.
