Comment: The new plant was all about penis envy.  Chugack Electric got a new, bigger one so ML&P has to be able to say they had a new, big one too.  The real crime is that MEA also built a new plant they couldn't afford so theirs doesn't have heat recovery meaning 40% of the power is lost through the roof.  We have seven utilities in the rail belt paying for sentencing administrations and overhead serving a clientele that would not may one small utility most places.  The Legislature should have mandated changes years ago but government workers including Legislatures are in it for themselves and their brethren and really don't care about us.
