I signed it this morning. Want to know why?
As a resident of a "state farther east" proposed to be the beneficiary of this senseless sacrifice of Missourians, I am not in favor of importing renewables from other states. For years, West Virginians made a sacrifice to export energy to states to the east. Now that the bottom has fallen out of that market, West Virginia is left with nothing to show for its years of sacrifice. We must rebuild our energy economy and that includes building our own renewable energy generators for local use. We cannot afford to ship our energy dollars out of state to import Midwest wind, but must put them to work in our own communities to promote local jobs and economic development. Grain Belt Express is not wanted in Eastern states.
What we need here in West Virginia are local generators, serving local customers, providing local jobs and economic development. We don't need to ship all our energy dollars to Midwestern states, but invest them at home in our own communities.
Do you want to put your energy dollars to work in your own community? Or pad the tax coffers of other states and the bank accounts of the foreign investors hoping to strike it rich building unneeded transmission to export renewables from the Midwest?
Those foreign investors and their greenwashing buddies are pretending to represent your interests at the Missouri PSC by purporting that you desperately need and want this energy. Nothing could be further from the truth, and you need to speak up for yourself now, or risk having foreign investors speak for you!
NOTE: This is a brand new Block GBE petition. Even if you signed their petition several years ago, you need to re-sign this new one! Sign and share it now!
