WV PSC Hearings on PATH Scheduled

Today, the WV Public Service Commission issued an order setting public hearings in the PATH case.

Tell your friends and neighbors.  If you think PATH is a bad idea, and you haven't intervened in the case, this is the time to come an speak your mind to the PSC and the power companies.

You will not get another chance.

Here's the schedule:

Tuesday, 9/22/2009, 12:30 pm  & 6:30 pm & Wednesday 9/23/2009, 8:30 am in Shepherdstown, WV at Shepherd University, Frank Arts Center, 260 University Drive

Monday, 9/28/2009, 12:30 pm  & 6:30 pm in Sutton, WV at Days Hotel & Conference Center in Flatwoods, 2000 Sutton Lane, 1-79, Exit 67

Friday, 10/2/2009, 12:30 pm  & 6:30 pm in Charleston, WV at Culture Center State Theater, Plaza Level of the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex, 1900 Kanawha Blvd E

Tuesday, 10/13/2009, 12:30 pm  & 6:30 pm in Davis, WV at Canaan Valley Resort & Conference Center, Spruce Room, Route 32 N, Canaan Valley State Park

Thursday, 10/22/2009, 12:30 pm  & 6:30 pm in Buckhannon, WV at West Virginia Wesleyan College, Campus Center Social , Hall, 59 College Avenue

The PSC only requires that this schedule be advertised as a legal ad in local newspapers.  It is up to you to copy this schedule and post it everywhere in your county as soon as possible.  Write letters to the editor.  Tell everyone you know.  Call your local radio station and get them to run your local information on the radio.

It is up to you. The PSC and the power companies don't want a lot of people at these hearings.

If you don't get the word out, no one else will.

Note: PATH will raise the electric bill of every customer in West Virginia, but the PSC is not holding hearings in every part of West Virginia.  If you have friends or family living in Huntington or Wheeling or Beckley, call them and tell them that they should attend the nearest hearing to voice their opposition to paying for PATH.  The power companies and the PSC think this is a local issue just for the areas directly affected by PATH.  It is important to show them that everyone in the state opposes PATH, for lots of different reasons.

Show up and tell em what you think! (4.00 / 1)
This is our opportunity to tell the PSC we ain't gonna take it no more.  No more dirty coal fired power plants to send electricity over three hundred miles across WV, Md. and Va. when it's not needed, not wanted, potentially dangerous to nearby residents, and obsolete technology to boot.  The PSC permitting process needs serious overhaul and the part of the commission charged with advocating for citizens needs to be more rate-payer friendly.  And one more thing, the PSC needs to be more open to the idea of rate-payer produced power that goes back to the grid, homeowner generators are here and they are contributing to the lessening of GW/CC and they need to be recognized for their good work and stewardship, not ignored.

this is our chance here. if you think we more input at 12:30, let me in on some talking points and questions you want answered. i have had my mind elsewhere, but it is not shot. is the plan to not let them off the hook at any of the three sessions?
