But as we suspect, if it is a smoke and mirror illusion, that does not hold up in the meticulous replay of slow motion photography, and we see if for the trick it is...........we need to "publicly" humiliate those who dared propose it as gospel.........<BR/><BR/>After all, that is what we, the "public", are for.................kavipshttp://kavips.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210638.post-17371205201789362682008-04-12T11:58:00.000-04:002008-04-12T11:58:00.000-04:00Hello John "I've got Juice" Carney.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210638.post-75533508417950035032008-04-12T11:49:00.000-04:002008-04-12T11:49:00.000-04:00HCR 38 speaks only to the Bluewater Wind PPA. It does not address the issue of the backup power plant. Last fall, the PSC and other agencies decided that there was no point completing the agreement for the backup plant until the wind farm is approved.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if McDowell has the muscle to keep HCR 38 from coming to a vote in the Senate. As brazen as he has been in using his power to try to kill offshore wind, this may be too hot for the Senate to allow him to hold it up on his own.<BR/><BR/>HB 6 does not specify the criteria the controller general should consider in making a decision. At this point, 35 legislators (out of 62) have either voted for or sponsored HCR 38. Russ Larson would be a brave man indeed if he defied Senate leadership and voted to approve the PPA without a vote in the Senate.<BR/><BR/>There is still one clear way to get the deal done, and that is to win the vote in the Senate.TommyWonkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05304960210838414244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210638.post-87667026932562795102008-04-12T09:53:00.000-04:002008-04-12T09:53:00.000-04:00Tom - <BR/><BR/>With all eyes now on the Senate does Adams have the ability (balls?) to put this in the desk drawer? I guess McDowells (clearly bogus) report gives him an out if losers like Charlie Copeland continue topretend that it is legit. <BR/><BR/>Does Kavips' observation that the Senate is not needed since Larson can be instructed by this house vote hold any water? <BR/><BR/>BTW - This is simply awesome blogging. You should have a Tommywonk fundraiser to allow people who agree with me that you are filling a huge void in the news coverage of this issue could vote with their bucks.jason330www.delawareliberal.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210638.post-24831167546781846872008-04-12T09:44:00.000-04:002008-04-12T09:44:00.000-04:00Was it the intent of HCR 38 to express the legislative will that the CG sign onto the BWW deal only or that such agreement was contingent on also executing an agreement for a gas-fired facility in Sussex County to provide backup power (as seemingly recommended by the PSC Staff and Ind. Consultant)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
