Man, the power plant is quite good at public relations. Walking in at the first, Steve made sure we understood that there was mostly steam coming from the stacks. We then were swept into a room where the same voice from several Disney films that I've watched made sure that we saw how friendly the power plant was. We were then reminded by the control room operator and our tour guide that "environmentalists" are always out get them and they began back pedaling without our attacking. I called them power apologists.
After some decent (but award winning may be a stretch) BBQ, we were blessed with a very awkward conversation between Steve and Alexis in which I felt they were both ready to go at each others' throats. Thankfully they didn't and we were given much responsibility from both. Steve said it was our responsibility to encourage the use of less kilowatt hours and to have our voice heard about alternative methods. Alexis commented that it was our responsibility to raise awareness.
Crazy stat of the day: more explosives used in Kentucky than Iraq and Afghanistan combined in 2000's
