PATH Project Canceled!

8/27/2012

21 Comments

 
Let the joyous news be spread,
The wicked, old PATH, at last, is dead!

"The PJM Board during a phone conference Friday decided to remove the Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline (PATH) and Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP) lines from PJM’s regional transmission plans, based on the PJM staff’s recommendations."


But we've got to verify it legally, to see
If PATH
Is morally, ethic'lly
Spiritually, physically
Positively, absolutely
Undeniably and reliably Dead.

As Regional Transmission Operator they must aver, they've thoroughly examined her
And PATH's not only merely dead, it's really most sincerely dead!

Then this is a day of independence
For all PATH opponents and their descendants!

Yes, let the joyous news be spread
The wicked, old PATH at last is dead!

It's gone where the greedy go,
Below, below, below, yo ho!!

OMG, I can't believe it. It's four years to the month since this project showed up to darken our lives. Nightmares of transmission towers marching along, multiplying like the brooms in the Sorcerer's Apprentice, buzzing and snapping

And now ... the nightmare is over, it's a beautiful summer day, and I bet there are dozens of corporate cronies blinking and shaking their heads and trying to figure out what happened.

WE happened, you jerks! WE the PEOPLE you planned to railroad and run over!

Gone but not forgotten... you'll be paying for this mistake for a long, long time.

Yes, we happened! Now let's do the victory dance!

Believe! I always did!

And now we move forward on a national effort. Ah, PATH, look what you've done! :-)

Here, let me help you out, Hill:

"Take your ball and go home, PATH!"

"Go away PATH and quit wasting my money!"

Randy: "When are you people going to give up?"
Hill: "When you all do the right thing!"

Hahahahahahahahaaaaa!

Backstops are for the wild pitches! Learn how to throw, PATH!

Oh, the disparagement!! When will it end?

When you all do the right thing, PATH! (see above). You've taken care of your "little problem" with the states and PJM, but you continue to do the WRONG thing in another jurisdiction with your silly, illogical, losing arguments.

Oh Happy Day!!!!! This is just such great news. Saw Debbie at the Fair Friday night, she asked if I had heard anything, told her I had checked the blog and they were to announce today at a news conference. I guess they had to take the weekend to think about what they were going to say since they have mud on their faces. Love the music to go with this article. My co-workers are wondering what's going on, I said it's good news. My speakers happened to be turned up so they could hear it. Just goes to show what perserverance can do. As I've said before, the best thing to come out of all this was the wonderful people we have met along the way. We will remain lifelong friends because of this. Kudos to all involved, especially to Patience and Keryn for never giving up the fight and for educating us all. Hill, I can't believe you are speechless, probably the first time in your life.

Some people may not enjoy being caught reading this ;-)

I'll turn off the automatic load after a bit. Couldn't resist!

Should we let power companies pick our friends for us from now on? How else can you gather such a random group of like-minded individuals?

It has truly baffled PATH that people who live hundreds of miles apart can work and relate so closely with each other. Nothing like a common foe - thank you PATH... I guess.

Perhaps that's because its own project was such a disjointed, mismanaged mess. Truly, I'd be embarrassed to work there!

A tear of joy for you, congrats!

Send some good karma our way in NJ - PSE&G has begun minor access road construction here on Susquehanna-Roseland.

Thanks, Scott. Wish there was something we could do about that travesty known as the Susquehanna-Roseland Project :-(

Yes!! We did it! It took citizens from 3 states working together to take down the unneeded pet project of the PJM crony cartel but we did it!!! Recommendation? Not! The tech guys probably said something like "we can't come up with a set of numbers that work - we tried - but we can't even patch together an incoherent needs case ...."

We did it, Dick and Theresa! Citizens of three states working in cooperation triumphed over the power company "best practice" of divide and conquer. It was never about where to put the PATH line, but whether to build it at all!

You guys are awesome and I am proud to have worked along side you for the past 4 years!

And... I just killed the auto-load music (and some of you are saying "finally!). If you want to sing along to some "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," you're going to have to click on the youtube link. It's now safe to surf in from the office once again without having all your co-workers asking you what it is you're doing on the internet... ;-) How much fun was that yesterday?

So much so that you made me want to learn more about it. Your blog is my stepping stone, my friend. Thanks for the heads up on this subject.

Lack of character education is getting to be progressively apparent from the climbing number of wrongdoing and savagery cases over the globe. Studies and exploration demonstrate that there has been a moral decline in the whole world.

    StopPATH Blog

    StopPATH Blog began as a forum for information and opinion about the PATH transmission project.  The PATH project was abandoned in 2012, however, this blog was not.

    StopPATH Blog continues to bring you energy policy news and opinion from a consumer's point of view.  If it's sometimes snarky and oftentimes irreverent, just remember that the truth isn't pretty.  People come here because they want the truth, instead of the usual dreadful lies this industry continues to tell itself.  If you keep reading, I'll keep writing.
