Associated Press - July 17, 2009 11:25 AM ET CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - The Bureau of Land Management is delaying the siting process for a proposed Wyoming-Idaho power line to try to settle issues raised by landowners and governments along the route. The agency is postponing until spring the completion date for its draft environmental impact statement for the Gateway West Transmission Line Project. The time will be used to identify more alternative routes with the project's developers and local interests. Idaho Power and Rocky Mountain Power propose to build the 1,150-mile line to carry wind and other power from Wyoming to Idaho and other points. Rocky Mountain Power is a division of PacifiCorp, which is owned by MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co., a unit of Warren Buffett's Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The BLM trouble should be a real tip-off regarding the trouble with "green investing," at least for large-scale projects. Those people who say that the end of the world may be coming unless alternate power is developed, don't seem to be all that interested in follow-through when social or political roadblocks to alt-en projects pop up.
There's something in that inconsistency which suggests they'll hang their implementers out to dry if something goes wrong...
