I will be at a Sue Thorn planning session so I won't be able to
attend, but replacing McKinley is a good part of the plan. :)

Folks - In my view this will be a very important
meeting. With the new SO2 rule, and now one on mercury, we have
major artillery to go ahead on our 3 target FE plants. Besides
giving new ammo for shutting down these plants, we are also
presented with the opportunity to do community outreach and
organizing as we go to Albright etc. and : get the experts to talk
about consequences of these rules, get FE to say what they are
doing to prepare for the shutdowns, promote clean energy, etc.
Not the least benefit - this should be an issue that can help
revitalize the chapter's conservation work specifically and the
Chapter itself generally. Just sayin'.....
I hope to see you there and to get some good thinking and planning
started.

I should have checked with my wife, she is hosting a Girl

that afternoon at 2 PM.
How about we move this up an hour and start at noon, be done
by 2 PM?

Folks -
We are embarking on an exciting campaign, with a huge
potential
payoff.
- First Energy's (Mon Power, Potomac Edison parent)
Albright,
Rivesville, and Willow Island coal-burning power plants are
our
target.
- Retiring these plants is our goal.
- Creating public awareness and support are essential.
Some developments coming along mean that the time is now for
us to get
moving.
We want to set a major public event for mid-January - which is
a lot
sooner
than it sounds.
You are invited - very warmly! - to a planning session. This
is a new
venture, and we *need* your ideas and energy to make this a
success.
Planning session:
Sunday, December 18, 1:00 - 3:00 (+/-) PM
Jim Kotcon's/Candice Elliott's home in Morgantown (414 Tyrone
Avery
Road).
<directions below>
This link is a google map just to show where these three First
Energy
plants are.

>From I-68, Exit 7, take Rt 857 North 1.0 mile.
Turn right onto Tyrone Avery Road.
Go 1.0 mile (watch for a sharp right followed by a sharp left

miles,
be sure to take that left).
Look for 4 mailboxes and a utility pole on the right, just
before our
driveway.
Come up the gravel drive to the second house on the right.
