On the letter “The company I work for” [The Commons, Sept. 29]: err, arrgghh! Was it really written by a person or by a PR team?
Electricity that you and your company make is not emissions free. I believe the Vermont Attorney General ruled that your company stop declaring such nonsense.
Issues I have with your letter, Manu Sivaraman, include your reference to “low-cost electricity.” Your company has not yet offered the state a power deal for after March 21, 2012. The only reason the state has had affordable power until 2012 is due to the pay-to-play deal Entergy and the Department of Public Service made at the Public Service Board level on June 13, 2002. Whatever deal Entergy offered back in the end of 2009 was not cheap, or not as cheap as the power secured in the Hydro-Quèbec contingency plan deal.
Entergy lawyers have stated under oath to the Public Service Board that the workers at VY range from 450 to 650 workers, not including the contract workers.
