The Delaware River Power Line Story Continues

This is a good article from Hudson Valley Press Online. It offers a good definition of New York Regional Interconnection's (NYRI) upper hand.
Power lines, ethanol trash plants, what else can they throw at us. This is what happens when states are run by slimy pols. Pols that care more for urban votes than the environment.
