But even Cisco has copped some fantasy attitude. Through spokespersons, the
company has said (and note the quotes), "We believe there will be power
available." That was an exact quote. Cisco "believes" there will be power
available? Is that in the same realm as the seventy percent of Americans who
believe in angels?

Cisco may be a very powerful and influential company. But just the fact that
it (as a company) BELIEVES power will be available (while opposing a power
plant that might turn belief into reality) is not exactly comforting.
