Of course, all the coal states except VA are glaringly absent.

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
