I hope Jonathan has already put you on the energy committee list, but as Conservation Chair, you should be on that list and get wilderness updates.  Can you be Chair and Conservation Chair?

Hi folks-

I'm still catching up to speed after being away.

I know there is an Energy Committee and an Environmental Justice staffer.

As Conservation Chair I hope to learn "what's going on" in those entities. Presently I think it would be accurate to say that the only thing I do know is the work on the TrailCo and Path transmission lines.

If you could share more information about your issues/programs/campaigns, I would certainly appreciate it.

On a related note, I'm wondering if we have a specific Coal Campaign. Or are the power lines an aspect of opposition to coal, as would be Bill's work I assume.

I wonder if one of these days we could recruit more volunteers, lobby Manchin and others, do corporate accountability, picket, etc. Maybe that's already happening.

One reason for asking is I'm trying to figure out what we would want potential volunteers to do if we got some resulting from the Coal Film Festival and the MTR Tours among other things.

Thanks for educating me about what's going on with WVSC.
