NYPA Relicensing Petition

[jd3]

The Niagara Power Project produces large amounts of cheap electricity, but very little of that cheap power benefits residents and businesses in WNY. Most of it is sent to distant towns and cities, many of them in other states, while most local residents and businesses pay some of the nation's highest electric rates. The New York Power Authority's license to operate the Power Project expires on August 31, 2007. If the NYPA is relicensed, things will stay the way they are now: high electric rates for most local residents and businesses, cheap power for a few IDA projects and grandfathered plants, and thousands of acres of land that will stay off the tax rolls for another fifty years.

I've started a petition to the FERC asking them not to relicense the NYPA, and to return the Nigara Power Project to local control. If you feel the same way about this issue, please sign the petition. The web address for the petition is:

Second highest rates in the 48 States, in fact. Only Con Edison in NYC is higher.

Woo-hoo! We're Number Two! (That can be taken a couple of ways, both bad)
