So having a power plant nearby is considered "punishment"? "If I have to have a power plant visible from my window, everyone does or I refuse to accept it." Are we having an epidemic of mass stupidity? For the record, I would lodge NO objection if the powers that be were to remove all of my neighbors, the Catholic church on the corner, Willow Glen High School, the JW Kingdom Hall, and Booksin Elementary...replacing it all with a power plant. I have no problem. Bring on the bulldozers. Let's see: the cry babies in Coyote Valley are complaining about construction of a power plant on an open field? PLEASE! Put it in MY backyard. I'm volunteering. -- John Higdon | Email Address Valid | http://www.anntec.com/ +1 408 264 4115 | Silicon Valley, CA | FAX: +1 408 264 4407 Cheap, provincial San Franciscans can call: 415 428-COWS
