I have been trying to find a current map of the grid for the state of Nebraska. So far the only one I have found is several years out of date <http://www.neo.state.ne.us/phase1/m4-1.2.jpg > There are several projects under consideration that are generating a lot of public hostility around here. In Lincoln the local power company (LES-Lincoln Electric System) wants to build a new high voltage line that skirts the edge of our "Nine Mile Prairie". This plot of land is one of the last vestiges of prairie still left that is what it was like several hundred years ago. LES wants to build a new line along the perimeter of this patch of prairie. Although the new line will not cross the prairie it will spoil the view of the unobstructed skyline in that area and that fact has a lot of locals concerned.

I called Mr. Carswell and talked to him a bit about some of the things going on here in Nebraska. I gave him a list of names of some of the decision makers here in Nebraska involved in these projects and suggested that he send them samples of the ACCC cable. In an e-mail I got from him later he told me the samples were on their way and appropriate sales staff had been notified. Maybe just maybe one or two of these samples will be placed in the hands of someone who can visualize the whole idea of the ACCC advantage. I have sent information to several of the reporters of the Lincoln Journal Star and the Omaha World Herald about ACCC also. Hopefully one of these reporters will take a peek at www.compositetechcorp.com and follow up with some questions and an article.

If any of you can find web links to maps of the grid in your states I would sure like to see the URL's to them. It would be great if the CPTC website could show maps of possible reconductoring projects that the public could access. Sometimes the committies that oversee and make decisions about power projects aren't concerned about keeping costs under control. If the general public can see information that shows how the regulators can save money pressure can be applied.

Gotta take a break the fingers are wore out.
