The approval, according to a statement by the New York State Department of Public Service, followed a nine-month environmental and technical review of the project conducted under Article 10 of the New York State Public Service Law. In the wake of the California energy crisis, Article 10 has come under a lot of fire by energy analysts as being too burdensome, delaying for years proposals to build power plants in New York -- a state analysts agree needs additional generation quickly, especially in New York City, to avoid power shortages. -Rueters Jan17,2001 And since you come from a background that was a battleground of lib/consrvative thinking You then know the consequences of LIBERAL laws--- NO jobs no economy for hard working folk who believed in America. And those stupid owls. Liberalism only works when there is an umbrella -- a security -- that freedom gives-- and its choices are provided by other peoples MONEY. Show me where Enron lobbied please. give me a story. please. I like the fact that Redding,Ca is making millions off of your woes in the bay area. They were smart - they planned ahead. Your gun loving truckn driving FOOL who has to go to California, obey there strict rules and see their way of liberalized life. Deary. Plus have lots of relatives there. Republicans AND Democrats both enacted the legislation Reread my post to you and you find I wrote Both Sides of the Aisle <---- Its all politics.
