I agree with you. <br /><br /> I am a blogger, I have opinions, I have a blog (among other reasons) in order to share my opinions. <br /><br />The reason I said "no comment" on the diesel hearing is simple...some things just leave me speechless. It would be hard to share an opinion without profanity.<br /><br />Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-45666177592923049522013-01-11T18:39:54.331-05:002013-01-11T18:39:54.331-05:00Joffan. Thank you for a great question.
The PSB ...Joffan. Thank you for a great question.<br /><br />The PSB is referring to the docket under which the plant was sold in 2002, not the new docket under which they are assessing the Certificate of Public Good. Here's their "strongly-worded" Nov 29 order last year. Note that it is an order which refers to every docket <i>except </i> the docket that they are holding CPG hearings on..docket 7862 is not mentioned.<br /><br /><br />http://www.energyeai.org/etr_-_vy_order_-_11-29-12.pdf<br /><br />Entergy had asked the PSB to ignore the previous dockets in terms of assessing the CPG, and this order (linked above) was the PSB answer. This answer is what led NEC to file suit in Vermont Supreme Court. <br /><br />I mean, the PSB started a new docket to start clean, but then they decided they could still use the old dockets as a way to whip Entergy for not being in compliance. That's my opinion of their actions, anyway.<br /><br />Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-82923467881650477362013-01-11T18:29:31.712-05:002013-01-11T18:29:31.712-05:00Well, I read the order all the way through, and I&...Well, I read the order all the way through, and I'm not much the wiser. It seems the PSB has dropped any pretence of professionalism or objectivity, and has embarked on a corporate sulk. Footnote 4 is simply beyond belief - "a [new] CPG would not necessarily cure the current non-compliance"? Ridiculous.<br /><br />The only valid point I might have conceded to the PSB would be the need for an expedited hearing, but given past performance, perhaps 8 months is only just enough time for them to come to a decision.Joffanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025437863119781181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-66455160425496748602013-01-11T18:15:19.021-05:002013-01-11T18:15:19.021-05:00With regard to the PSB hearing, I'm puzzled by...With regard to the PSB hearing, I'm puzzled by the quoted paragraph. Which existing Board orders is this in reference to? Certainly the PSB should not be expecting adherence to orders that have been overruled in court, and the Certificate of Public Good - originally applied for in plenty of time - is still under discussion.Joffanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025437863119781181noreply@blogger.com
