Do you want to be forced to buy your supplies from Walmart? Do you want your profits to be regulated by the state?

Energy generation through wind power looks promising. If it is, let the believers research it and invest in it.

After a forced marriage, both Blue Wind and Delmarva Power would suffer if Blue Wind has any problems. Where will energy consumers go then?

The best course is to get the state out of this deal and get the government out of regulating rates. You have to wonder how much money has flowed to legislators and other officials so that either side can get it's way?

The solution:
1) wind power - go!
2) anti-competition - no!

Prediction: Harris McDowell will not run for reelection two years hence, but rather he is planning on being the first director of this weird fledgling entity called the Sustainable Energy Utility as his reward for killing wind power for Delaware. Time, of course, will tell.

As best I can tell from it's website and the little I've read about it, the SEU looks like it will be a typical quasi-governmental organization whose real purpose is not to accomplish any meaningful widespread energy conservation, but rather to gets it members' snouts buried into the public feeding trough via government contracts and open-ended programs.You can be sure that Delmarva will find the SEU quite user-friendly once it's up and running.

As it happens, I sit on the Delaware Sierra Club political committee.

Harris McDowell can try to game the score all he wants. He's the leading opponent on the most important environmental issue of our day. I wouldn't look for him to get an endorsement or a dime from the Sierra Club when he comes back up for election in two years.

Pat that sounds good, but people like Mike Castle score well on that type of thing.

People like Castle and McDowell game scoring systems; In fact, Castle games those scoring systems so well that Allen Muller of Green Delaware loves him in spite of his horrible Bush supporting/no help on wind power record.

Don't get mad, get busy. We can do something really important by contributing to the Delaware Environmental PAC. They will score legislators on their pro-environment votes, and support candidates and incumbents who do right by our environment. Make out your check to Delaware Environmental PAC, include your address on the check and mail to: Delaware Environmental PAC c/o Sierra Club Delaware Chapter, 100 West 10th Street, Suite 1107, Wilmington, DE 19801. Contributions are not tax-deductible.

This is quite a feat, the antithesis to Kavips four whoresmen!

Unfortunately, I don't think it would do much good for me to contact my senator, for he happens to be none other than Harris McDowell. (sigh.)
