Wind Power Class Action Suit Committee Being Formed
We are currently looking into a possible suit against Delmarva Power‘s parent Company, Harris McDowell, Tony Deluca and Charlie Copland based on the fact that their collusion to subvert the open PSC bidding process and irredeemably disable the Blue Water Wind Power Electric generation deal has had a significant adverse impact on a “class” of litigants.
We believe that we can prove that the adverse impact of the collusion between Pepco Hodings, Inc., Harris McDowell, Tony Deluca and Charlie Copland could include every man woman and child in Delaware (excluding the defendants of course). However, that class is too broad to certify and it is more likley that the suit will be filed by Delmarva Power customers.
This option is being explored because it has become clear to us that if McDowell, Copeland and company are able to frustrate the political process our last chance might be the courts and we wanted to begin to prepare for that eventuality.
If you would like more information about the Wind Power Class Action Suit Committee please email me at jason330@delawareliberal.net
Stockbridge of Delmarva is debating Lanard of Bluewater on WDEL’s last Rick and Brian show tomorrow starting at 1:00. Post your questions now!
Good. When the judge dismisses the case against Copeland, you can stop pretending he has any power to effect the process. And we’ll have legal proof.
Questions for Stockbridge:
Did Harris McDowell tell you that he hired a D.C. lawyer to interrogate Arnetta McRae, chair of the Public Service Commission or did you tell him to hire the lawyer?
Who developed the line of questioning Randall Speck used with the PSC? Did you consult with Harris McDowell or Charlie Copland in developing the questions for the PSC?
Is Randall Speck currently being retained by Delmarva Power in connection with its pending suit against the state?
Do you expect fossil fuel prices to go up, down or stay the same? If fossil fuel prices go up, won’t the wind farm become cheaper by comparison?
Questions for Lanard:
Do you feel you are outgunned from a PR perspective?
The PSC received 1,000’s of letters supporting the wind project – do you think you are allowing that groundswell of good will to go untapped?
Do you have any real strategies to fight the coordinated malfeasance of DP, McDowell, DeLuca and Copeland – or do have some kind of naive faith that the “truth will out?”
Two more for Stockbridge:
Your ads in WDEL say that the wind farm will cost DP customers $50 million per year for the next 25 years – does lying like that keep you up at night?
Some of your critics says that your full set freakish pointy baby teeth caused your mother to despise you and that your adult actions are merely a working out of the pain caused by your lack of maternal affection as a baby – While other critics point to your tiny penis as the source of your major malfunction…which is it?
For Stockbridge: Are you willing to lock in the same prices that BWW has offered for the next 25 years, regardless of the cost of fossil fuels?
And then say, “Do you feel lucky, Punk? Do ya?”
Then ask how many jobs in Delaware Gary Stockbridge expects to create with Pennsylvania wind farms.
questin for both:
1. Do you prefer boxers or briefs?
2. If you were the only person to inhabit a tropical island and could only take one item with you, what would that item be?
(everybody needs a softball question)
It is sad Dave.
There was a day when you would have been on the side of justice, fairness, clean air, good long term infstructure investments and positive growth.
Now you’ve sold out to the man.

Check out the news release.
Seriously…can we all co-op ourselves and devise a way for each of us to turn our houses solar? Not only do we get a tax break for the costs, and I think a grant, but we get to enjoy the thought of DeLarVae purchasing excess power from US!
Take that, you pointy-toothed bastard!
Actually, disconnect from today’s reality and imagine….imagine a mass exodus of consumers in DeLarVae’s area from conventional energy supply to solar. Damn…what a thought!
You dirty KUmbiaYa singing hippie bastard!

Sure, knock yourself out, all it takes is money. There are probably tax credits available too:

Don’t try it in Sussex though:

First question is: do you have an attorney willing to take on a case of this magnitude? Second, how much money is necessary up front? Third, DPL has lawyers and mucho cashola, do you think the public can come up with that kind of mula to take them on? What about going to Washington Power?
Yes.
I’m not sure.
The firm has plenty of money and makes out like a bandit if there is a settlement or judgment.
For what?
You dirty KUmbiaYa singing hippie bastard!
Yeah, that side of me appears every other season of the year or so.
I know it’s a lot of money, but my wife and I are going to start seeing what we can find out about installation. What can we get for a couple of $5’s?
When sueing demand the ‘loser’ pay legal expensives. Find an attorney who will assist you with filing ‘pro se’ (you act as your own attorney).
Some renegade Dems sued the Dem city committee several year and we won when we got a Rep Chancellor….Chancellor Strine alway gave us the thumb’s down—everytime.
The real problem here is Strine is young and will be hanging around Chancery for years on end crossing politics with the lie. Hope he sleeps well.

What a joke of a publicity stunt.
1st – The RFP process was merely to serve as an information gathering procedure as part of the integrated resource planning required of Delmarva. If Delmarva does not find any of these proposals necessary to their long term plan for stabilizing energy prices for Standard Offer of Service customers, then they can not be required by the PSC to build or buy from any of these proposals.
If the PSC wants to build one of these proposals on their own – that is a different story – and a different bidding process.
All of this is all clearly stipulated in HB 6.
2nd – A senate hearing is not obstructing justice – it is examining the facts so the Senate members can make an educated decision about the question at hand.
3rd – a private citizen can’t file a law suit when they have not been the victim of anything. Also, you can not file a class action law suit – that is something that comes out of a judicial hearing.
What a bunch of boneheads. You scream for open government but here you are defending back room secret deals done in secret between Bluewater and the PSC.
You so want to stick it to Delmarva or anyone else you blindly and incorrectly think is on Delmarva’s side that you are ignoring the facts.
Open your eyes people you are being sold a bill of goods under a phony green flag.
This is why we have the government we do. Idiots like you.
This was a knee slapper:
You scream for open government but here you are defending back room secret deals done in secret between Bluewater and the PSC.
Anyhoo…
I’ll put you down as “not interested.”
I don’t think Sandy Dean is correct. This is from HB6:
“Once one or more of the contracts have been finalized and approved by the Commission, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Controller General and the Energy Office, then DP&L shall enter into such contract(s).”
The wind farm is good for Delaware for the following reasons: creates 700 jobs, creates a cleaner environment, less cancer-lower health care costs, less money spent on foreign oil-which supports terrorist groups indirectly, and less of our money being paid to other states for electricity which drains our state economy of cash. Once again the older generation is supporting causes resulting in pollution and losing jobs to other states. We need to run candidates in each district that will support wind power, and clean out the current group of leaders. We are already way behind other states in wind and solar power. Texas already has about 3,700 operating wind turbines, we have 0.
Sandy Dean: I do not understand what you are talking about…”that a class action suit cannot be filed”, they are done all the time…just wait for the press in a few weeks..,there is another story waiting to be told which will send both democrats and republicans scurring….
I live at the telocaset wind farm in oregon. Is there a lawyer out there that can represent us? We live less than a half mile away. There are 6 of these metal monsters behind our once home. It is a hellish environment now. I have been sick since day one. Please keep these bird and bat killers out of our world.
