Perdue can intervene in Alcoa, Yadkin case
Word just came down from the Feds that Gov. Bev Perdue and the State of North Carolina would be allowed to intervene in the Alcoa-Yadkin River case. For those new to the story, Perdue and some in the state legislature want to prevent Alcoa from being given another federal permit to operate electric generating facilities on the Yadkin River.
Here's the notice that just came from the FERC:
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION
