Who is "they"?


The county government. They tried to do some
arm twisting but obviously they have no influence
over what goes on in that plant.

Basically they all get together ever so often and
pass all kinds of resolutions and plans about how the
plant should be run. And Entergy gives them
the finger.

The latest is the requirements for 'disaster drills'
in the local area. They put up all kinds of emergency
evacuation bus stop signs on every local road. With
the idea being if the plant blew up they's somehow
put a bunch of busses on the road and folks would
climb into them and go somewhere.

The laugh is, all it takes is a few inches of snow,
or a truck getting jammed under an overpass in the
local area, to produce a giant case of gridlock that
takes hours to undo.

If indian point lights up, the roads will be solid,
wall to wall cars for miles around, and it will stay
that way for three days.
