On July 23, Consolidated Edison, the New York power utility, announced plans to break ground in November for its controversial Storm King pump storage power project on Harvard-owned land near Cornwall, N.Y.
The University reacted to the decision with a bit of panic and paranoia, since the University has not yet decided whether to cooperate with the power company. The idea of selling the land to Con Ed caused considerable controversy both in the University and around it, since the building of the power project has been tied up in battles with environmentalists for the last ten years.
The University has still made no decision on the sale of the land Con Ed wants.
