Republicans Score Political Points, Kill Jobs
This just in from the News Journal, an important partner for the wind turbine tower construction project has pulled out of a partnership with Delawind. You may remember that Delawind was attacked by the right-wing here in Delaware because one of their principles is John Carney. Delawind had applied for financing from the state to […]
Offshore Wind: The Rest of the Country is Starting to Notice
The LA Times has an article about a report presented to the 25x’25 summit in Virginia that says that offshore wind could provide more electricity than the US currently uses. The biggest wind potential lies off the nation’s Atlantic coast, which the Interior report estimates could produce 1,000 gigawatts of electricity — enough to meet […]
Windpower Deal: Greased Lightning!
Wow. Just Wow. The windpower bill passed both houses of the legislature this evening. Tommywind has the story. To give you a feeling for this bills speed, I called Bluewater yesterday afternoon to get the bill number from them so that I could post a “Call your Senator and Rep” post with the actual bill […]

McDowell Ethics Story Update In the Works
My last Harris McDowell post generated a lot of interest, so I want to tease an update based on some new information I’ve turned up and basically keep the pot simmering. I’m taking my time because I fully expect this reporting to be the base for a number of the main stream media stories that […]
LiberalGeek Question of the Day
With all apologies to Donviti, I have a question. Can we all agree that Ethanol is a failure and that we need to bail out on it before we tar all alternative energies as bad ideas? I believe that we make mistakes. Ethanol is one of them and the sooner we cut bait on it, […]
TommyWonk to Talk Wind Power with Progressives Dems
I have been asked to speak to the gathering of the Progressive Democrats of Delaware (PDD) tonight at 7:00. I will be talking about advocating for wind power with the General Assembly. The action group that met last month is working on a detailed plan to inform legislators on the policy basis for giving the […]
Wonky Wednesday: Facts, Law and Public Sentiment
The News Journal story on the non-decision on wind power ended with this quote from me: Tom Noyes, whose Tommywonk blog is widely read among Delaware environmentalists, expressed optimism the issues could be worked out. “We’ve got the facts on our side, we’ve got the law on our side, we’ve got public sentiment on our […]
Choose Wind
The Public Service Commission and three other state agencies overseeing the wind power negotiations will meet on November 20 to decide whether to continue the negotiations between Bluewater Wind and Delmarva Power. They have set a deadline of November 12 for public comments. The proposed offshore wind power project would produce 13 percent of Delaware’s […]
EVERYONE needs to write a letter.
It is that simple. It is not a partisan thing. It is a sanity thing. Listen to Tommywonk on Delmarva Power’s push polling… Delmarva Power Is Interested in What You Think Nancy at Delaware Way had the story five days ago, and the News Journal ran the story today: Delmarva Power is conducting polling to […]
All joking aside – Action Item: Windpower is in trouble
As Tom point out, the initial sixty day timeline for the Delmarva Power RFP negotiations will have run its course as of Saturday. He thinks it’s safe to guess that the negotiations will not have reached a successful conclusion, given that DPL has filed an appeal of the PSC’s decision in Superior Court. Sooooo, what’s […]
TommyWonk to Talk Energy on WDEL Today
I’ve been invited to talk about the latest developments in the energy saga with Allan Loudell on WDEL, 1150 AM, at 12:14. As noted yesterday, Delmarva Power filed an appeal of the Public Service Commission’s decision directing the company to open negotiations to bring wind power to Delaware.
