Well, there goes PATH's "backstop" authority they have been waving at the individual states' commissions. PATH's gun is full of blanks afterall.
Buh-bye, PATH. Isn't it time to take your ball and go home now?

NIETCs have been vacated by order of the 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals today. Bill has the details on The Power Line.

Gosh dang it, how I love it when Courts get things right. That CA Attorney General is quite a hoot how he gets under the skin of utility companies! Remember PG&E getting smacked around by the CA Atty General in Bankruptcy Court? -- same guy) Connecticut had one of them too -- he now sits in the US Senate hopefully neutralizing smokin Joe. Now all we need is the Supremes to get it right on CT v. AEP and our lung-life is looking good. Imagine this everyone. The 9th Circuit did this without even breaking into our uniquely mid-atlantic emergency cookie jar where we have spare treats to bring out and pass around i.e. destroying mountaintops, maximum daily load, and Chesapeake Bay watershed protection! (Oh EEEPEEEEAAAAA-AAAY, where AAAAARE YOOOOOOOOOU!) Do you think FERC might be regretting trying to wrest ecological matters away from EPA? Their plate is sooooo loaded that doing EPA's work might just be the proverbial back-breaking straw. PATH is now officially more pain than gain!!!! Bring it on to the Mid-Atlantic!!!!! We're ready! (What's that I hear? … "OOOOOh, Baby, baby.....I hear a sym-pho-ny..."-- the sounds of the Supremes)

In 2008, AEP & Allegheny Energy's PATH joint venture used their transmission line routing etch-a-sketch to draw a 765kV line across the street from her house. Oooops! And the rest is history. About
