But, I am not for letting everything go into the air. They need to clean up their "stacks". BS is one of the dirtiest burning plants in this area, right behind Phillip Sporn, and also cover the asbestos. BS is a very profitable AEP plant, they can afford to be safe, and burn clean. BTW, I have called OSHA to both plants while I was there, and they just look around, and leave. You know as well as me, big business wins most every time.

Granted, but there are acceptable time frames to adopt in this effort to keep rates from, dare I say it? Skyrocketing. You gotta admit, AEP is between the devil (Obama) and the deep blue sea here. Customers are as important as the environment is. Some folks really can't afford to pay much more for their electricity. If we force all the clean air standards too soon, we do as much harm to the folks as we do the environment. I actually do think the environment is worth preserving, I don't buy the global warming deal, but I do buy the idea that rivers and streams and to some degree air standards are completely legitimate. Same thing with all fossil fuels. We need gasoline for everything that we call America, from driving to work to bass fishing. I can see it now, the tournament blast off---with full jib, LOL.
