Reminder: Please try to attend and speak against the powerlines this week at one of the following hearings:

Dates for the public hearings are:

1. September 25, 2003, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., Green Valley, Arizona
2. September 25, 2003, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Green Valley, Arizona
3. September 26, 2003, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Nogales, Arizona
4. September 26, 2003, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Nogales, Arizona

We still have a good chance to beat these power lines since the route through the forest is so destructive and the DEIS is not complete. There is a copy of the environmental impact statement in local libraries.

Even if you haven't read the Environmental Impact Statement, you can still get up, tell the DOE where you live and say you.......

"Recommend the Dept of Energy vote "NO ACTION" and REJECT the Western Route/Corridor."

See the weblog history below for further information

Here are the up-to-date "contacts" for the public to send comment on the recently issued Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), and/or express your concern regarding the proposed transmission lines.
