Last Friday, Gary Petersen and a group of parents and students involved in home schooling in the Toledo area visited the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant. Congrats to Chip Palazzo and everyone at First Energy for continuing to reach out to the community and tell our industry's story.
There's an invisible force powering and propelling our way of life.
It's all around us. You can't feel it. Smell it. Or taste it.
But it's there all the same. And if you look close enough, you can see all the amazing and wondrous things it does.
It not only powers our cities and towns.
And all the high-tech things we love.
It gives us the power to invent.
To explore.
To discover.
To create advanced technologies.
This invisible force creates jobs out of thin air.
It adds billions to our economy.
It's on even when we're not.
And stays on no matter what Mother Nature throws at it.
This invisible force takes us to the outer reaches of outer space.
And to the very depths of our oceans.
It brings us together. And it makes us better.
And most importantly, it has the power to do all this in our lifetime while barely leaving a trace.
Some people might say it's kind of unbelievable.
They wonder, what is this new power that does all these extraordinary things?

Seriously, I cannot think of a worse face for this industry than FENOC. They 've done more than anyone to damage our reputation and should shut-up.
Chip was great, both in the tour and in catching the article I wrote on my weblog and commenting on it.
I've been in the business of communications for more than 20 years and I can tell you - in all my years in various leadership capacities - I've never been as proud as I am now to represent FENOC and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station to the communities we serve... and that includes sharing information with enthusiastic students interested in how we generate clean electric power.
The caliber of leadership in place at Davis-Besse and the 800+ who come through these gates every day is second to none. Their commitment to the safe, reliable efficient operation of this plant is evident 24/7/365.
It's a privilege to represent a team whose passion and commitment to doing the right thing IS the priority - as it is across the entire FENOC Fleet.
