Face to Face with Clean Line

3/8/2017

4 Comments

 
Did you see what Clean Line posted on its Facebook page this afternoon?  Probably not, because they snatched it down pretty quickly.  But not quick enough.
Picture
So, what was wrong with that?  The article Clean Line was proud enough to share was the one that polished that infrastructure and politics turd Clean Line handed out the other day.  Someone was awfully proud of themselves!  But the social media genius at Clean Line violated one of the Clean Line social media rules... never, and we mean never, allow any material on the Facebook page that could give a potential investor or customer the idea that there is any opposition to, or risk involved in, Clean Line projects.  After all, that article would never have happened if Clean Line wasn't in trouble with Congress.  Clean Line social media genius had a come to Jesus moment shortly thereafter and deleted the posting, whether it was self-discovered, or gently pointed out by one of the kind Clean Line executives.
This isn't the first time Clean Line has posted a link on its Facebook page and then thought better and deleted it. But just remember, in Mayberry someone is always watching and they're all up in your business.  And they're laughing at you.  A lot.

So what is on Clean Line's facebook page?  Little about Clean Line's projects, but lots of crap about wind energy, and occasional weirdness.  Like Chris Hardy cutting red tape with gigantic scissors.  No, really.  I'm like "WTF, Clean Line?  WTF is that?"  I'll admit I don't keep up with Clean Line's Facebook dribble, but when I went to look today, there's Chris Hardy with gigantic pair of scissors.  It's a photo from the North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce with the caption, "Congratulations on your Ribbon Cutting Clean Line Energy!  We're excited to have you as a new member!," followed by a couple of #reallypointlesshashtags.  Except in the picture Chris is surrounded by what looks like Chamber folks, and he's standing in front of some signage that looks like Chamber signage.  Is he posing at the Chamber office?  I mean, it would probably be a little crowded if all those folks had to drive over to Chris's office at the Homewood Suites Extended Stay Hotel so he could cut the red tape with gigantic Chamber scissors over there.  Although it would be cool if they were all jumping on the bed in the background while Chris cut the figurative ribbon with  grossly oversized scissors in a motel room.  Nothing says "success" more than not actually having an office to conduct your commerce, and having to cut your figurative ribbon in the lobby of the local Chamber of Commerce.  The "ribbon cutting" ceremony is usually pretty cheesy, but I've never seen it performed virtually at a Chamber of Commerce office before.  Yay you, Clean Line!  Aren't you innovative?  Keep it up and maybe they'll give you an oversized key to the city next!  Does the Chamber have a giant door Chris could pretend he's sticking it in while posing for the photographer?

Don't forget to post it on Facebook when it happens! 
Idiots.  These people are idiots.  Save me from the idiots.

I have new hope with all the current news. Senators Boozman and Cotton did a good job with refiling and sending letters to Mr. Perry. I hope Mr. Perry does the right thing and pulls DOE support. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Oh, we're watching, all right. There's a lot of crap we've caught and not publicized…. just waiting to sue their pants off in spite of the multiple layers of LLC's. Never, ever underestimate Mayberry.

    About the Author

    Keryn Newman blogs here at StopPATH WV about energy issues, transmission policy, misguided regulation, our greedy energy companies and their corporate spin.
    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
    StopPATH Blog

    StopPATH Blog began as a forum for information and opinion about the PATH transmission project.  The PATH project was abandoned in 2012, however, this blog was not.

    StopPATH Blog continues to bring you energy policy news and opinion from a consumer's point of view.  If it's sometimes snarky and oftentimes irreverent, just remember that the truth isn't pretty.  People come here because they want the truth, instead of the usual dreadful lies this industry continues to tell itself.  If you keep reading, I'll keep writing.
