Every time they turned around Governor Scumbag was having his hatchet men filing lawsuits. You had a renegade state legislature trying to usurp federal authority to the point of having to be slapped down by a federal judge. You had Senator Sandbag going on TV raving about how the plant should be shut down. You had workers and their families being harassed, being told they are liars, are good-for-nothings, are destroying the environment when in fact the opposite is true. You had Governor Scumbucket going out of his way to call the company Entergy Louisiana, when in fact VY is a Vermont plant (that's what the "V" stands for), then the same slimeball makes deals not with out-of-state companies, but foreign companies, to supply the energy lifeblood of the state. You had consummate professional people coming here to provide public information in open meetings, only to be met with insults, laugh tracks, idiots in costumes disrupting the meetings, and generally rude and ill-mannered adults acting like children. Now, tell me again why you'd want to do business in an environment like that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-51999996752829468862014-05-30T22:43:00.993-04:002014-05-30T22:43:00.993-04:00OK Tell be again why this plant is being shut down...OK Tell be again why this plant is being shut down. This payment shows that the plant was profitable last year. Why shut down a profitable plant? <br /><br />Legal challenges might be a cause but it seems to me the the company was winning in court. When you are winning in court, why would you want to shut down a profitable plant?<br /><br />The market does not consider the clean air to be of value, but even though the market did not value clean air, the plant made a profit. <br /><br />Is it true that the company sacrificed a small profitable plant just to get attention?
