Everyone, please share this post! (Also contact info for all entities is in lower part of this text.) Anyone who has ever visited the Hill Country of Texas, or who cares about it for any reason SHOULD SUBMIT A COMMENT OPPOSING THE PROJECT TO THE PUCT, recommending that they, AT LEAST approve only the PATHWAY OF LEAST HARM that has been submitted to CPS Energy by members of the Hill Country Preservation Coalition. Also, you can still contact CPS Energy and AEP and urge them to recommend the Pathway of Lease Harm to the PUCT in their Applications to PUCT.
