Patience and I met two very delightful new friends today. Hyosil Kim, a reporter for Korean newspaper The Hankyoreh, and her translator Brian Kim, spent the day with us touring Jefferson County and learning about PATH's spectacular, flaming failure to get its transmission project sited and permitted.
PATH's failure is interesting to the people of South Korea because they are engaged in their own furious battle with transmission developer Kepco over a 765kV line intended to export nuclear power out of the country.
The concept of social justice is being debated in Korea, just as it is here. Why should any person have to sacrifice their home and well-being to serve the energy or environmental needs of others?
We took a fond trip down memory lane with many of our fellow PATH opponents during our tour of PATH's proposed route, recalling funny and touching moments during our successful David v. Goliath struggle to take control of our own energy future.
You'll be happy to know that the story of The Coalition for Reliable Power is just as funny when translated into Korean!
The message Hyosil will take back to Korea is encouragement for the people to persevere and refuse to give up!
We'll be posting a link to Hyosil's story here when it's written...
