Welcome. And there's really a Clinton Nuclear Power Plant?

And did you hear Karl Rove, aka Lucy Ramirez duped Dan Rather?

You've posted this message on several boards. I thought I'd give you a hand by mentioning a couple key points that you might not have been aware of:

1) Despite the protestations of IP, the Clinton plant was completed about 6 or 7 years behind schedule and 4 Billion dollars over the initial budget. They sold it off just a few years ago for 20 Million. The cost overruns and poor performance of the plant may be one of the reasons electricity is so expensive in the region.

2) One of the people who was fired for non-performance provided reports indicating that the plant was seriously behind schedule and over budget. According to him, his refusal to stop producing such reports was what got him fired.

3) IP had been getting mixed coverage in the local media well before the 60 Minutes broadcast. The 60 Minutes show gave them an opportunity to blast their story to other power plants and stockholders across the country.

So, who do you think did the most "fooling"?
