(NYSE: AYE) today announced a schedule change for their proposed transmission project. The Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline (PATH), a 765-kilovolt line extending from southwestern West Virginia to central Maryland, now has a June 2014 completion deadline. The one-year schedule change results from a recent reliability analysis by PJM Interconnection (PJM) that considered various factors, including its 2009 load forecast. PJM, the regional grid operator directing the construction of PATH, has confirmed that the project remains critical to addressing regional reliability concerns. PJM’s latest update of its reliability analysis confirms that significant overloads and voltage problems will occur in the region, beginning in 2014, if the PATH project is not completed. The PATH project team expects to file applications for approval to build the line with the West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia regulatory commissions in the second quarter. Timely approvals by the state commissions are needed to meet the new deadline established by PJM. Allegheny Energy Headquartered in Greensburg, Pa., Allegheny Energy is an investor-owned electric utility with total annual revenues of over $3 billion and more than 4,000 employees. The company owns and operates generating facilities and delivers low-cost, reliable electric service to 1.6 million customers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia. For more information, visit our Web site at www.alleghenyenergy.com. American Electric Power American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. AEP ranks among the nation’s largest generators of electricity, owning more than 38,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. AEP also owns the nation’s largest electricity transmission system, a nearly 39,000-mile network that includes more 765-kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. AEP’s transmission system directly or indirectly serves about 10 percent of the electricity demand in the Eastern Interconnection, the interconnected transmission system that covers 38 eastern and central U.S. states and eastern Canada, and approximately 11 percent of the electricity demand in ERCOT, the transmission system that covers much of Texas. AEP’s utility units operate as AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power (in Virginia and West Virginia), AEP Appalachian Power (in Tennessee), Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and Southwestern Electric Power Company (in Arkansas, Louisiana and east Texas).

SB 753 - calls needed
by Jim Sconyers 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

[Note: This information is about a bill concerning the new wave of gas drilling in the Marcellus shale strata in West Virginia. WVSC Chapter leader Beth Little has provided brief explanations of why the proposed bill is a bad idea. You can help, and she shows how.] Contact Del. Carrie Webster, chair of House Judiciary - e-mail cwebste1(a)mail.wvnet.edu or phone 304-340-3252 and ask her not to report the bill out of committee and give your reasons as to why it's a bad bill. Also contact any members of the Judiciary Committee (listed below) that are in your district. Reasons why SB 753 is a bad bill: It would prevent counties from addressing problems in their local areas. If WV had adequate regulation of gas drilling at the state level, it would not be necessary for counties to take steps to protect citizens. WV has no limits on water withdrawals (only “advisories”) and no permitting process to alert county authorities or citizens to a potential problem ahead of time. WV allows land application of drilling brine (as in salty wastewater), which can poison agricultural soil (an incident in the Fernow Experimental Forest resulted in a few acres of dead vegetation within days, including trees), WV has no maximum limit on total dissolved solids (TDS) in streams and rivers. Recently the Mon River violated PA TDS limits and caused problems at industrial facilities on the river, plus resulted in hundreds of thousands of PA residents having to use bottled water. WV has insufficient inspectors to monitor the increased number of drilling sites. WV allows onsite burial of pit liners containing potential toxic material. County planning agencies need the authority to regulate activities that threaten local land and water until the state can pass appropriate legislation, but SB 753 would prevent them from doing this.

Harvard, it's going to be running in the Charleston area on WVPBS starting at 9:00 p.m. on Monday, April 13 and lasting for four weeks. I'm putting this info on the FOM list. This has not yet received much publicity in this area. I've pasted the Post-Gazette piece in below.

Appalachia is in a rarefied limelight this Thursday when PBS airs the first part of an engrossing and beautifully filmed and illustrated series subtitled "A History of Mountains and People." "Appalachia" is both a paean to and an investigation of the world's oldest mountains, their sufferance and the sufferance of their inhabitants -- from chestnut trees and salamanders to the Saponi, Sugaree and Coosa tribes to the families who lived in squalor in company towns. Should enough people actually watch it, "Appalachia" (10 p.m. Thursday, WQED) could be the beginning of a cure for society's malignant attitude about the region. It doesn't portray Appalachia as anything it isn't; deeply isolated mountain people really are quaint. But there's so little deep isolation anymore, and Appalachia has been wrestled into the shape of the rest of the country. The otherness that fascinated the first outside journalists has been eradicated over a century like so many irreplaceable qualities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Appalachia: A History of Mountains and People' **** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Narrated by actress Sissy Spacek, with interviews of scientists, historians and novelists, the four-part series begins with the birth of the mountains 500 million years ago. The breakup of the supercontinent Pangea led to collisions that caused mantle to buckle and lift. In Part II (10 p.m. April 16), native and European cultures collided, most horrifically when Hernando de Soto and his wild band of horsemen slayed people who wouldn't show them where the nonexistent gold was. Part III (10 p.m. April 23) brings us into the mid-1800s. Industrialization quickens the pace, levels old-growth forests and turns one of Earth's great wonders into a commodity. The greatest tragedy of Appalachia is that it became what anthropologist Harvard Ayers called "a resource colony, an environment you could sacrifice for the benefit of the rest of the country." Part IV (10 p.m. April 30) is less thematic. It tells of the forestry conservation movement; the labor movement and the violent resistance of coal companies against it; the cultural renaissance from which emerged the writings of Thomas Wolfe and the Carter family's music; and the loss of the American chestnut, Appalachia's crowning species. A very brief few minutes is given to the shocking devastation that a handful of "miners" can cause by blowing an entire mountain apart and throwing everything that buried the coal into the ridges below. Mountaintop removal mining -- a still-legal form of environmental mayhem -- is Appalachia's most spotlighted issue today, but this series puts it in historical place on a very long timeline. Much of the political history of this series, such as the role John L. Lewis and Mary "Mother Jones" Harris played in organizing labor, has worn deep grooves into the brain by now, but there's some surprising learnin' to be had. Who knew, for example, that some species of trees and salamanders in Appalachia have matches in southeast China -- and nowhere else in the world; and that more species of trees live in one acre of North Carolina mountains than in all of Europe? Few documentaries give equal time to species other than the human to explain a history. This one does. It gives first billing, though, to the mountains themselves -- the "soul and spine" of a people as diverse as any but bound by a heart tug for "home" that's all about being an underdog who knows a superior beauty.

Washington Post Mobile - Winds of Change Evident in U.S. Environmental Policy
by william.depaulo＠gmail.com 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

washingtonpost.com william.depaulo(a)gmail.com sent this to you from http://www.washingtonpost.com Winds of Change Evident in U.S. Environmental Policy By Juliet Eilperin Updated: 03/31/2009 Daniel Reifsnyder, a 25-year State Department veteran, knew even before President Obama was elected that U.S. environmental policy was going to change. So in early November, he called a couple of his Environmental Protection Agency counterparts about drafting documents to lay the groundwork for endorsing a treaty to curb global emissions of toxic mercury. The Bush administration had resisted proposals for a United Nations-sponsored mercury treaty since at least 2005 on the grounds that voluntary measures were sufficient, but Reifsnyder told his fellow career officials that they had an opportunity to quickly formulate a new U.S. position in time for an upcoming meeting in Nairobi. They knew that as a senator, Obama had sponsored legislation banning the export of mercury overseas and that he was likely to be sympathetic to the treaty proposal. "To anyone who was aware of what was happening, it was pretty clear the chances of the Bush administration position continuing into the new administration was pretty remote," recalled Reifsnyder, who is deputy assistant secretary of state for the environment and jokes that he started working at the department "before Moses parted the waters." By Feb. 20, the efforts of Reifsnyder and dozens of other rank-and-file federal employees had borne fruit: After the United States voiced support for the idea of a new, binding mercury treaty, the world community embraced it in Nairobi. The rapid policy reversal is just one of more than a dozen environmental initiatives the new administration has undertaken in its first two months. In nearly every case, the decisions were based on extensive analysis and documentation that rank-and-file employees had prepared over the past couple of years, often in the face of contrary-minded Bush administration officials. After years of chafing under political appointees who viewed stricter environmental regulation with skepticism, long-serving federal officials are seeing work that had been gathering dust for years translate quickly into action. Whether that is a good thing depends on one's point of view. "It is kind of how government works, at its best," said Eric Schaeffer, who headed the EPA's office of regulatory enforcement before resigning in protest in 2002. He now runs the Environmental Integrity Project, an advocacy group. "With government bureaucrats, we fuss at them, but in this case I think they're doing some good." Businesses facing new regulation, however, often call it a case of unelected government employees running amok. "It's safe to say [that] within the regulatory bureaucracy, there's a built-in inclination to draft regulations, because that's what they do," said Hank Cox, a spokesman for the National Association of Manufacturers. "With some of these bureaucrats and activist groups, there's an obliviousness to the costs of these regulations. We're more comfortable with having people high up in government taking a fairly tough line on new rules." After years of behind-the-scenes disputes with their superiors who favored regulatory restraint, many longtime federal workers are now what Cox calls "more in sync" with the new political hires running their agencies. This shift has helped produce broad policy reversals that encompass such issues as writing new regulations and prosecuting violators of old ones, with still more in the pipeline. Drawing on earlier spadework, the administration has issued a proposal to create a national greenhouse gas registry; filed a lawsuit accusing a coal-fired power plant in New Roads, La., of violating the Clean Air Act; and put electric utilities on notice that they may have to account for their greenhouse gas pollution. Political appointees have also asked career employees for background material on how to regulate pollution from cement kilns; whether refineries have done enough to curb their harmful emissions; and whether the federal government should grant California and more than a dozen other states the power to curb greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. Margo Oge, director of the EPA's office of transportation and air quality, said the approximately 400 people who work in her division have drawn on "thousands of pages" of documents that they drafted during the past administration to advise new EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson quickly on questions such as whether the agency is obligated to regulate gases that contribute to global warming and how it might accomplish that. Bush officials had extended the public comment period on the question, in part because they thought a positive finding would trigger an elaborate regulatory scheme that would harm the economy. On March 20, the EPA sent a finding to the White House that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare , based in part on the work that Oge's office had done. "There is a sense of urgency by the president and the administrator to address climate change," Oge said. "The agency is in a very good position to provide technical assistance to the president, to Congress and to the administrator." In many instances, career officials have spent a couple of years preparing the reports and briefings they are now delivering to Obama officials. Under Bush, for example, senior EPA officials such as former deputy administrator Marcus Peacock made it clear that the government would not devote significant resources to prosecuting coal-fired power plants for Clean Air Act violations because the administration was more interested in curbing air pollution through regulatory reform. But according to a Justice Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing litigation, career employees continued to research such allegations in the hope of securing settlements or bringing cases in the future. On Feb. 18, less than a month after Obama was sworn in, the United States filed a complaint against the Big Cajun 2 Power Plant charging that for more than a decade it has operated without required pollution controls; the case was based in part on about 2,000 boxes of documents from the EPA's enforcement office. The Justice official said the fact that EPA employees continued to research these sorts of complaints kept a 1999 federal initiative aimed at coal-fired utilities "alive, and that's what gives us the ability now to file a couple of these cases." In some cases, agency officials have been able to revive proposals that languished under the previous administration with the tiniest of changes. A proposal to establish a national greenhouse gas registry stalled at the Office of Management and Budget for three months because Bush administration officials did not think the EPA should use its authority under the Clean Air Act to establish the monitoring system. Within two weeks of Jackson taking office, however, career officials briefed her on the matter, and she agreed that they could base the rule on the act. The registry proposal that the EPA issued this month is nearly identical to the one it sent to the OMB in September. Scott Segal, a lobbyist for coal-fired utilities at the law firm Bracewell & Giuliani, said the fact that Obama has yet to fill many sub-Cabinet appointments at federal agencies has created "a power vacuum in which career employees fill in the gap." "The old joke about EPA employees is they would either write the rule, or if they couldn't, they would leak the draft," Segal said. Now, he added, they seem to be getting their chance to write the rules. (c) 1996-2009 The Washington Post Company

Fwd: Policy on Electric Transmission Lines: Sign on letter
by James Kotcon 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

The attached sign-on letter to Carol Browner outlines a consensus position among many national environmental organizations regarding new transmission lines. Obama and key congressional leaders are supporting new transmission for "renewable energy zones", as well as "Smart Grid" development. Those are not the same thing, and it is important to note that lines like PATH and TrAIL are neither. They are the epitome of "Dumb Grid" development, i.e., building new lines without any integrated planning. Building these is just stupid, and adding a tax makes them even worse. How to finesse this distinction is a challenge, so hopefully this letter will be useful, and can give you helpful sound bites.
