Thanks homesearcher, good idea.
The NJ spokesperson for the American Pubic Power Association testified and suggested that folks pressure Congressional delegation to pressure FERC to kill this deal.
He also suggested that folks urge support for national legislation, bill # S2660 – sorry I didn’t take good notes adn don’t have additional info right now on this.

I’ve already written my congresspeople about this issue. I’d suggest you all do the same.

Hey jerseyswamp – you got this all down pat.
I sens e you have the taste of personal experience with these snakes in your mouth.
Thanks pal.
NJyikes – commercial and industrial ratepayers will get screwed by this deal as well as the residential folks.
I am not opposed to higher rates, per se, but only if the money is going towards efficiency and renewable power as solutions to clean air adn global warming- but higher rates for windfall profits for PSEG shareholders and NY CIty lights?
FTS (trey and guess what that stands for)

Excellent report on a complex issue! This stuff usually gets rubber stamped without the public knowing anything about it. Renewing Oyster Creek , adding another reactor in Salem, and letting the old coal plants in Bergen and Essex blaze away: all so we can supply NYC? With Thigpen greasing the skids of the Dem machine, the BPU crying crocodile tears and PSE&G’s duplicity unchallenged it looks like the power boys wired this deal a long time ago. Tom Moran is already looking uncomfortable – he’ll get use to it.
