StopPATH WV

Yesterday, counsel for PATH filed a letter with the WV PSC stating that PJM discovered an error in the base case analysis used in the development of the 2010 RTEP.  Read the letter here.

PATH suggests another two-month delay while they cook up new need testimony to be submitted by September 14th. This would push the hearings out to March, 2011, and the decision date to July 29, 2011.

Whatever!  I've been waiting for them to suggest another delay to fix that crap they submitted as the basis for the "need" for PATH on July 8.  Didn't expect that they would panic and ask for a delay so soon, before the case even really gets rolling again. Every time PATH is losing, they will call a delay so that they can have another "do over". How many chances are they going to ask for to try to get it right?  Answer -- as many as necessary!  Interesting that PJM is willing to be their scapegoat this time.  PJM is really stretching themselves thin recommending PATH as the "best and only" alternative to fix long-term grid problems.  In fact, they have already stretched themselves so far that they have ruined their credibility with the public, the regulatory agencies, and their own members as well.

PATH is barely scraping along now -- someone please shoot it and put it out of its misery!
