I thought that the referral was a good way to get the guy out of the meeting without a lot of ugliness. For a second I thought the guy was Foraker. No kidding. Nancy, yes, that was him.

I heard that McDowell told him to go to the state energy dept. for help. Was the crackpot the guy who said that he needed to patent his idea that would make energy at a third the cost of wind?

Are you sure about that claim concerning extension of the SEU board authority? Do you recall who said it? Because based on research of all available GA records, it is a damn lie. I searched for all legislation containing anything related to "sustainable energy" and found no such legislation extending the authority for the SEU, much less any laws enacted to this effect. Chapter 181 in this link is the first piece of legislation passed this year, on January 15. Check for yourself and see if you find any law passed by the GA since the SEU board's authority expired. http://delcode.delaware.gov/sessionlaws/ga144/index.shtml Unless the GA is passing secret legislation without changing the statutory language in the Code itself or publishing it under the journal of Delaware laws passed, I am mystified by this claim. It sounds to me like someone is making it up, or it is wishful thinking...something like, "don't worry, the legislature is getting around to making us legal". But then, how else would they answer that they are unlawfully meeting? Charlie Copeland needs to answer this question, if McDowell won't. I am surprised he would participate in an unlawfully-operating body like this. I know he has plenty of good lawyers at his disposal. He should check it out before going any further with the SEU. If we can't get clear, unambiguous answers to this, it may be worth filing a complaint to enjoin the SEU board from any more meetings until they have statutory authority. Nice work LG, by the way.

Flaherty, Kowalko, 2 from Delaware Nature Society, guy from Clean Air Council, a woman from LoWV, two private citizens a crackpot and me. I'm pretty sure the crackpot wasn't from the News Journal.

I have been looking into options, but have been pretty dissatisfied with the current options. Bootstrapping a local blog network would be a difficult venture and would likely get many of us divorced before it takes off. :) There will be more to come in the future on this, but for now, we will have to blog on our free-time or when the boss isn't around. Perhaps if we break into the national blog scene, we would have a shot at financial independence. Well, we will need a source of revenue at some point.

Todays A section of the newpaper had 20 pages. 11 of those pages were full paged ads. There were other pages half filled with ads. Maybe newpapers are dying because they don't print any news... but Short's Marine is having a hell of a sale.
