I wear lots of hats around here.  One that I don't talk about much is the official StopPATH WV, Inc. Treasurer hat, but it's quite an elaborate affair (think Carmen Miranda and her fruit chapeau).  Sometimes it gets kind of heavy and it's hard to keep it balanced properly while dancing around the StopPATH WV office.

I need your help, faithful blog reader.  Yes, there are quite a lot of you, I've noticed.  You may read this blog because:

1.  It makes you laugh.

2.  It gives you a smile of satisfaction watching the high and mighty get knocked down a peg or two quite regularly.

3.  It keeps you abreast of the latest developments in the PATH case.

4.  It's a handy-dandy road map for your own transmission line battle with other power companies; or conversely,

5.  You are one of those other power companies and you use it as a road map for what not to do.

6.  You just enjoy watching your corporate competition get its butt kicked over and over again.

7.  You're a PATH project employee and you think if you read this blog obsessively I'm eventually going to hand you a great big secret that you can use against the opposition and you'll be the first to read it; or

8.  Maybe you're just a creepy freak with nothing better to do...

If you're one of our regular readers in the above eight categories (or another I didn't mention -- I take suggestions!), I'd like to ask you to make a donation to StopPATH WV, Inc. 

I recently received an invoice from one of our experts and it had a lot of zeros in it.  While we won't have any trouble paying it thanks to our many very generous donors, it hurts my anal-retentive, geeky, bean-counting, treasurer's psyche to see our bank account take that kind of hit.  We need a quick infusion of cash before I start acting really crazy (yeah, yeah, I know, how would you be able to tell?)

So, if you find this blog useful, how about showing us a little love of the green variety?  We take checks or credit cards, heck, I'll even take cash, if that's your thing.  Go here to make a donation.


I don't think we'll be the beneficiary of any of PATH's ratepayer-funded "corporate stewardship" any time in the near future (but if we are that's one "membership" we promise not to complain about next year since it actually will benefit the ratepayers).  We depend entirely on donations from folks who want to see us win this battle.  I hope that group will soon include you.  Thanks, guys!

Wouldn't it be nice if the PATH guys would share a lil love back? Afterall, they have all the money they need (mine and yours) to fight us for more of our hard earned cash. C'mon Randy ... pony up and send a feww of my doolars back this way.

I have yet another check for our cause. I also have a start on another scrap metal pile. I visited with another concerner citizen yesterday and he donated five junk lawnmower among several other items. C'mom people, we all got junk appliances, junk cars, bags of aluminium cans, etc ... Let me know and I will get them for you. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A JUNK CAR OR 50 TO HAUL TO THE SCRAP YARD. 100% of every penny we make goes directly to stoppathwv. In fact, I normally call our treasurer as I leave the scrapyard with the total for the day. scrap metal prices are "up" right now so now is the time.

    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.
