Re: [at-l] AEP case

### This is actually HUGE, folks. As someone who's faced AEP several times,
I can tell you that they are a ferocious adversary on even the teensiest of
issues. AEP/C&SW currently controls enough transmission and distribution
line to encircle the earth NINE TIMES at the equater! I've been following
this case from the beginning (if from afar) and have been grateful for the
ongoing battle waged on behalf of the Trail and the Trail community. The
VCC can still override the ALJ's recommendations, but from the sounds of
things, that doesn't seem likely. This is very cool, and very huge.
