Just now, I’ve filed a Motion to Strike the Applicant’s “Comment” filed at the close of business February 8, 2010, the deadline.\u00c2\u00a0 Why?\u00c2\u00a0 Because they’re filing 3\/4″ of stuff at the very end of everything, there’s no way to do Discovery, there’s no way to cross them, and what really did it for me was the graphic “birds-eye view” of transmission blowout.\u00c2\u00a0 Look at this and play “What’s wrong with this picture?”<\/p>\n

\"attachment4-full\"<\/a>Can’t see it?\u00c2\u00a0 Try this, and you can blow it up all you want:<\/p>\n

CapX – Feb 8 – Attachment 4<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was an issue in Susquehanna-Roseland, with even wider blowout range, due to the much longer ruling span:<\/p>\n

In their filing, they go on about:<\/p>\n

And the problem, as I see it, is that there’s so much here that they’ve known for a long time and haven’t disclosed, and instead they kept up the fiction, through the public hearings, through the evidentiary hearings, that the LeSueur Crossing was the “Modified Preferred” route when, instead, there were clearly identified problems that would rule out that crossing, and the Belle Plaine crossing, as the “alternate” didn’t get the attention it needed when attention was misfocused on LeSueur.\u00c2\u00a0 There was not a public hearing in Belle Plaine, and there was no EIS “meeting” (they’re not hearings anymore) in Belle Plaine.\u00c2\u00a0 So, folks… what’s wrong with this picture…<\/p>\n

I’m weawwy weawwy tired of these utilities thinking they can just dump whatever they’ve got at the last minute , that they can withhold information developed in meetings with agencies, that they know that there’s a problem and they don’t disclose… that is sooooo naughty.<\/p>\n

Produce maps at the hearings, “supplemental” testimony, on and on and on… PSEG’s no different, these guys all operate from the same playbook.<\/p>\n

Just couldn’t let this last one slide…<\/p>\n

ANSWER: What’s wrong with the above “birds-eye” graphic is that their measurements of blowout start from the centerline, and not the point where the transmission line is actually connected — so their numbers are shy by about 20 feet…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
