I talked to Bill Butler after this came out. Bill and Judge Miller supposedly
advised the Governor that this moratorium was not a good idea. I suggested to
Bill that LG&E was behind this, but he told me that the Gov is also planning
a Senate run, and that this move is related. I also mentioned this to Johnny
Hayes. Between Bill and Johnny, I should be able to get more info. Bill also
told me he was named to the State energy committee.

We are working on Calvert, but as we have already applied for an air permit,
we are only potentially affected to the extent we modify the equipment in our
application. As such, I would like to see the text of the Governor's order to
determine if equipment changes for applications already submitted would be
precluded. Dave Kellermeyer / Scott Churbock are also looking into this.

As you know, we face a similar moratorium in Georgia. I have asked Johnny
Hayes to find out if there is any movement in TN with respect to a moratorium.

I think for right now, my group's main need is to (i) understand the KY
moratorium and whether it precludes us from changing equipment in our air
permit application; (ii) whether a moratorium could spread to TN (we have a
couple more sites we're working on there); and (iii) if we can leverage any
political connections in GA to help us navigate the particulars of that
state's moratorium.

Barbara, toward that end, it would be helpful if you would contact Raimund
Grube (x 3-0433) on Georgia, and Chris Booth (x 5-3364) on Tennessee. I'd
like you to work with them and Churbock / Kellermeyer on answering these
three questions.

Thanks much.

Ben
