Western Greenbrier Co-Generation Plant--See attached fact sheet for more information. Also go to www.wvhighlands.org http://www.wvhighlands.org/ and click on Suit Aims to Block Greenbrier Plant and The Rest Of The Story.
The WGC plant proponents are mounting a petition campaign to convince Senator Byrd to help them raise another $25 million, despite the fact that they are way over budget, out of money and have defaulted on their loans, which were guaranteed by the WV Development Office. The $25 million is so they can borrow $300 million with municipal bonds through Citigroup and get a grant from the US DOE for over $100 million. This use of taxpayers funds for a bad idea must stop.
Letters are better than petitions. Please write a letter to Senator Byrd (and you can send copies to Rahall and Manchin).
AND SEND A COPY TO ME (blittle@citynet.net) SO WE WILL KNOW HOW OUR LETTER CAMPAIGN IS GOING.
AND FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE YOU CAN THINK OF.
