We can stop this together.

PJM Interconnection called for "more powerlines" because of the so called "energy crisis" and possible future NERC violations by PJM.

In response to this, Allegheny Energy and it's subsidiary (Allegheny Power) teamed up with American Electric Power to propose the PATH project. PATH stands for the Potomac Appalachian Transmission Highline. PJM approved the project.

PATH (Potomac Appalachian Transmission Highline) proposes to run a 765 kv high voltage transmission line through 280 miles of rural West Virginia land (mostly through private property). In some places the proposal calls for two 500 kv lines.

American Electric Power has been sued by California, Connecticut, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, and the City of New York for being a global warming polluter (carbon dioxide emissions).

New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, have also previously announced plans to sue Allegheny Energy’s for violation of the Clean Air Act (again, because of coal plants and emissions). Allegheny Energy owned one of the dirtiest coal plants in the nation.

The Northeast doesnt want this, so why are we being lied to??

How many times can they be sued? Before its brought up to a higher authority...

Why isnt Pres. Obama involved in this?

Heres more proof that the Northeast is trying other ways of conserving energy and NOT relying on PATH.

CT is in the process of suing Allegany again..
Why is CT suing them? THEY WANT CLEAN ENERGY!!!

United Illuminating Makes Presentation On Small Business Energy Advantage Program

The purpose of the presentation was to identify the fact that we offer a program designed to help customers manage their energy usage and cost simultaneously," O'Connor said. "The SBEA Program is a tool to help small and mid-size businesses help themselves stay in business."

Since 2000, the Small Business Program in UI's territory has saved over 810 million lifetime kilowatt hours which equates to avoiding 439,000 tons of carbon dioxide, a statistic that was well received at the event.

The Northeast does not want or need PATH..
