"LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED"
AMP-OHIO are asking communities that have voted some over a year ago, to vote on October 30th, with a "Limited notice to proceed" on the Meigs County AMPGS coal plant. External factors, including cost of coal, construction, international credit crisis, and the improved political outlook for alternative energy have changed dramatically in the past year. Participating communities must give AMP-OHIO an O.K. to proceed with this 50 year, $3 Billion Dollar investment. Does anyone have an idea what the final cost of this project will be? Are there better ways to spend allocated funds?
Painesville City Council has a very important decision to make.

this link will catch us up to speed and let us know what you are talking about.
if we are going to sell concord and the new (smaller)hospital power we are going to have to get it from somewhere.
The city will be working on a new budget this weekend. In these tuff economic times I can only hope the City of Painesville shows some restraint in spending. We are going into some finacally hard times and we al most show a little common sense. Now is not the time for a bloated 65 million dollar budget.
Doesn't all of council have to vote on this? How can they get an answer if the Council meeting is Monday?
this is way over half of their heads. remember when you vote for a candidate they need intelligence because they are going to make important decisions. now apply this to the federal level and symbolism over substance and experience. are you going to pull the trigger?
I agree with the above comment only to remind everyone substance and experience doesnt always have successful results. The Captain of the Titanic had the most experience of anyone on that steamship line he still managed to hit an iceberg, would a less experienced Captain taken a different route and speed? How would the Cuban Missle crisis have turned out with a more experienced leader? Maybe a first strike option would have been used? After the fact we learned that some of the missles in Cuba were operational. All I'm sayng is there are no sure things.
G.M.
No sure things but I think when you pick someone who is educated and experienced the odds are in your favor to have a positive result vs. some random pick. Considering the odds I've never bet on a 50-1 to win the Kentucky derby. There may have been one or two but my money is on the 3-1 horse. It may not be a sure thing but I'd rather play the odds than throw my money away.
i say don't do it, obama promised that if they built a new coal plant he would bankrupt it. of course he was in san francisco and not in pittsburg when he said it
So, What did we do? Proceed?
We are Proceeding........
to the tune of $2.9 billion dollars with no end in sight to rising escalation of costs.
Hope somebody is in the basement of city hall printing money by the barrels......
AMP-OHIO will move forward with the Meigs County Coal Plant.
Who in Painesville gave AMP-OHIO a vote to proceed ? The agreement that council passed was not met. This is how we get into thing over our heads.
