In Alert 656: Do you want a say over Delaware’s energy future? we reported on attempts to curtain public input into Delmarva Power’s planning. We invited people speak out if they wanted public meetings and some people did. One of the three scheduled meetings (in Dover) was kept on the agenda and the other two, in Sussex and New Castle Counties, were cancelled.
