Wind Powering America - Wind Stakeholder Interview: Montana Public Service Commission
A. Rural electric co-ops typically buy their power from federal power marketing agencies (e.g. Bonneville Power Administration - BPA, Western Area Power Administration - WAPA). BPA has a good renewables policy foundation in the 1980 Northwest Power Act. WAPA needs a similar foundation. Co-ops are likely to become wind enthusiasts because of the opportunities for rural economic development provided by wind power. ... A. As of July 1, 2002, all customers of the former Montana Power Company (now NorthWestern Energy) are served by an unregulated electricity supply (the Commission judges the "prudence" of the utility's procurement but not the price). Rates for generation jumped about 75%. MPC sold its generators to PPL Montana (a subsidiary of the PPL Corporation formerly Pennsylvania Power and Light) which now, because of transmission constraints, has undue market power. New generation can bring competitive forces needed by our customers. In addition, wind generation can help hedge against volatility of natural gas prices and avoid some environmental impacts. ...

ATSDR-HEALTH CONSULTATION NO. 2, JACKSON CERAMIX CORPORATION, FALLS CREEK BOROUGH, JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
In August 1996, the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH), working under cooperative agreement with ATSDR, prepared a third HC for the site. PADOH described conditions at the site, including the discharge of raw sewage from homes in Falls Creek onto the site and adjacent property. PADOH and ATSDR concluded that the site is a public health hazard, basing the conclusion on the presence of raw sewage and physical hazards on site. Raw sewage, which represents the risk of exposure to infectious biological hazards, was draining onto the site from the borough of Falls Creek at the rate of about 30,000 gallons per day (gpd). An additional estimated 40,000 gpd were flowing into wetlands next to the site. Many physical hazards, such as unstable fire debris, climbing hazards, and water-filled pits, were present at the site. The public could access the site because the fence was insecure, making the hazards accessible to trespassers. An on-site electric power transformer atop a power pole may ... [Read More]
National Health Service Corps
Cochran further attributes the clinic's success in retaining its clinicians to the safe environment and high quality education available in Franklin County. It also helps that the community appreciates and validates the NHSC practitioners' tremendous contribution to the health and quality of life of local residents and workers. "They are recognized in grocery stores and at ball games," she notes. "It's 'Hey Doc, how are ya?' People are grateful here." ... The Keystone CEO has also harnessed the power of her dedicated Board of Directors in strengthening Keystone Health Center. In addition, Cochran forged a strong alliance with Summit Health, the parent company of the local hospital, and with Summit President Norman Epstein. The attitude has been "whatever is best for the community, we will work together to accomplish," she observes. ... [Read More]

The Pennsylvania Senate - DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION
Gorden Blain, editor of SPORTSfever Magazine, has been unable to get the PIAA to let him bid on rights to provide programs for the state football and state basketball championship finals. SPORTSfever magazine is acknowledged by many people involved in scholastic sports to be a quality magazine providing in-depth coverage of district programs. SPORTSfever is the official publisher of District 1 and 3 championship programs and has worked with various PIAA district committees to provide profit-making programs for district playoffs. Mr. Blain has offered to produce a program for both football and basketball state championship finals at no cost to the PIAA. The PIAA has refused Mr. Blain’s services and has banned the sale of his magazine at any PIAA venue even when no other program was available. The PIAA provides no programs for the PIAA playoff rounds leading up to the state championship, yet the PIAA refuses to allow Mr. Blain to make his publication available or even to discuss a prog ...

Wind Energy Resource Atlas of the United States
Table D-3 gives the number of sites in the UnitedStates for which the difference in wind power class (measured minus estimated)was a given amount. At 65% of all new sites, the measured wind power waswithin one power class of the estimated power, and at 30% of these therewas no difference in the power class. The measured wind power at 35% of allnew sites differed by 2 or more classes from the estimated power; approximatelyhalf of these were greater and half less than the estimated power class.For special new sites (those sites installed specifically for wind energypurposes), 26% of the sites had the same class as the estimated power and57% of the sites were within ± 1 power class. Thus, 43% of the sites differedby 2 or more power classes from the estimated power class. ... [Read More]
