July 21 - Aug. 14: 5 to 8 p.m. Public meetings across WV on mega-powerline.
See
http://pathtransmission.com/meetings/. The Potomac Appalachian Transmission
Highline (PATH) is a $1.8 billion theft of your ratepayer dollars in order to
pump more coal-fired electricity to the East Coast, undercutting cleaner
generation sources in those areas. The company is guaranteed a rate of return of
14.3 % on any investment, regardless of whether the line ever gets built, so you
can be sure they will just keep spending your money to promote this project!
Public meetings are now scheduled across West Virginia in the coming weeks. Tell
everyone you know, and tell local legislators to attend and to oppose this
boondoggle. More info |
