Monday was the Prehearing Conference for the CapX 2020 Hampton-LaCrosse\/Alma transmission line<\/a>.<\/strong> NoCapX 2020 and U-CAN are the only parties thus far – CETF<\/strong><\/a> was missed!<\/p>\n

First thing, note that this schedule is pushed way out into 2011.\u00c2\u00a0 As Ed Berger would say, it’s “real outside!”\u00c2\u00a0 They have evidentiary hearings way out three months from my estimate.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 One thing I did was put an explanation column so there’s be some understanding of why I was suggesting things, like… for example:<\/p>\n
