Sen. Harris B. McDowell III, D-Wilmington North…estimates that in the long term, the hybrid plan will cost an additional $1 billion and provide no more electricity than the natural gas plant alone.
(Huh? Where did he get the $1 billion figure?)
The natural gas plant — originally proposed for a Wilmington site by Conectiv — would cost $100 million and could provide 177 megawatts of electricity, McDowell said, enough to power about 150,000 homes.
McDowell is so in the pocket of Delmarva Power and Conectiv that it is sickening. If he wanted to lobby for his sugar daddy – why didn’t just do what Wayne Smith did and quit on Wednesday and lobby on Thursday.
