Flint Power Plant

On Monday I will travel to Northwest Arkansas and tour the coal fired power plant in Gentry. PSC Chairman Suskie, along with Commissioners Bassett and Newbern, toured this facility last Tuesday. They reportedly came away impressed with the positive public input from locals and the unabashed beauty of the surroundings. The fact that the Flint plant uses much older technology than the proposed plant in Hempstead county will put on line, should speak volumes to those predicting environmental collapse if the Turk plant is built. I am going to take a look myself, and hopefully will come away convinced even more that SWEPCO should be allowed to proceed
