This is seriously big news. Dave Burris who knows a fair share about the inner working of Leg Hall now claims says that maybe Charlie Copeland was not a party to the back room deal that was cut between Delamarva Power and the Sr. members of the Democratic and Republican Caucuses in Leg Hall.
If this is true it would mean that the deal which resulted in the instructions to Russ Larsen to derail the PSC process by bringing the final deliberations under the purview of the State Legislature was entirely the work of Democratic legislators who are in the virtual employ of Delmarva wind. If this assertion holds up it will be a huge swing in the fortunes of wind power in that it would put the blame for the deal being slapped down squarely on the Democrats making it a potentially explosive election year issue.
I have an email out to Copeland asking for clarification and will update when I get some word back.
