Hi everyone!
I've attached the letter from 10 East Coast governors calling into
question the need or wisdom of a 'transmission superhighway'. It's better
than I could have written myself, and much more strongly worded that I would
have expected. Although they miss the coal-connection, the Governors are
now on record saying local generation is a more reliable way to meet power
needs than long-distance transmission.
I think it would be wise to thank Governor Kaine for signing on,
while highlighting PATH as a project that would further disadvantage off-shore
wind, energy efficiency, and distributed generation. http://www.governor.virginia.gov/AboutTheGovernor/contactGovernor.cfm
