The thing that I think of is that these senators are in the public eye AND should be role-models for our youth. No wonder crime is going up. Any you...
Note, the Alpine plant capacity is (might be) 16 MWe. However, like all the other plants on the system, they most likely will need to load-follow (i....
WOW !!! This report identifies several instances where senators got travel advances and never provided expense reports to justify the monies. OR...
So Tart, I guess that we should just get used to it and everyone quit belly-aching. Otherwise a WAPA organisation and process restructuring is in ord...
Tart, you are correct that history tends to repeat itself on this island. Let's see if WAPA can get us 5 MWe's of PV power for STT. The latest RFP p...
Here is WAPA's definition of LEAC. It is "supposed" to only include fuel cost. And they say it is the Public Services Commission (PSC) that sets the...
I believe the current construction at the STX site is for a "transfer station". In January, normal land filling operations are to come to a close sin...

Bombi, Not sure you realized that the article you posted is the same that I posted last week. The point I was trying to make is that there may b...
E-E, Nope. There is just insanity. The only hope is to bring in (or sell WAPA to) some outside sensibile "for profit" utility with PUC cont...

I am a big proponent of the government selling WAPA to a large USA utility company that is a for-profit entity. Since WAPA and the gov. are both out ...
