the power grid has been neglected for 30-years

It didn't need much upgrading since overall power consumption was only growing at 1% per year and majority of generation capacity was used locally. So now we are expecting to pay for grid upgrade to export power and air pollution from MidWest into Northeast.

One thing you can say about Christy Whitman, she wouldn't hang around DC to be whooping boy for envirnomentists after these rules were proposed recently which she doesn't agree with.
She's done two years at EPA winning some sort of government pension and also, she didn't need any mental baggage during her full AUG month of vacation like any blue blood Republican like GWB requires.
