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.
