Daily Kos Features Delaware’s Weatherization Stimulus
Meteor Blades at Daily Kos has published a post about how states are slow to use their stimulus weatherization dollars. One exception that is cited is the state of Delaware (with a h/t to Delaware’s very own TommyWonk). In fact, thanks to foot-dragging at the state level, only 8% of that money had been spent […]
Wingnut Talking Points Smackdown — The Recovery Program
This edition outsourced to Tommywonk. Read the whole thing, but here is an interesting bit: Left out of that argument is the question of how we got to the largest deficit in history. Hundreds of billions spent on a six year war in a foreign country have not provided much economic benefit here at home. […]

The rest of us at DelawareLiberal.net will be spending the rest of the day crying in our beers. Editor’s Note: This comment from a kos diarists bears repeating, because it ties Tommywonk’s trip to Denver to Truth Teller’s concern […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Elusive Laffer Curve
Yesterday, Jason linked to this item at Economist’s View on why the magic appearance of the Laffer curve in a chart highlighted in this Wall Street Journal editorial was, shall we say, less than compelling. I’ve taken the time to review the chart and come to a conclusion that won’t please some of my conservative […]

Wonky Wednesday: Let’s Get Recycling Done This Week
The General Assembly has before it a bill, House Substitute 1 to House Bill 146, that would create a meaningful statewide recycling program in Delaware. A competing bill, HB 159, while not as far reaching, would still go a long way to creating the infrastructure for statewide recycling. While either would be good for Delaware, the […]
