Congressional Candidate Pushes Green Power, Rejects Nuclear
Wilmington, Delaware – Democratic Congressional Candidate Karen Hartley-Nagle released a policy paper outlining her stance on energy policy.The policy is centered around clean, renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, and speaks out against such bad actors as fossil fuels—including “clean coal”—and nuclear power.Says Hartley-Nagle, “Delaware has the opportunity to embrace revolutionary technologies like wind, solar and geothermal; instead, we’ve stalled on an offshore wind farm, we continue to burn 19th century fuel sources, and we now have Mike Castle saying that Delaware should go nuclear. It’s time that we move forward.”

Hartley-Nagle says that much of the problem stems from special interests, an issue which has halted reforms in everything from nationwide vehicle efficiency standards to the construction of a wind farm which could sustain almost 30% of Delawareans’ energy usage.
WELL SAID!! (emphasis added)

In the meantime, this reminds me. The one thing Biden and Carper are very good at is constituent services. Would it make any sense to write to these guys as constituents with a problem. For example…
Dear Congressman –
A few members of our state legislature are working on the behalf of Delamarva Power instead of working for the common good of all Delawareans.
Would it be possible for your office to look into this situation?
Obviously this is not a typical constiuent services request – but if Biden & Carper get enough of these calls they might be moved to act in some way ?
