that PP&L, with nearly 3 billion
dollars invested in nuclear power,
offer a balanced, unbiased
education program - and that if it
wants to try to re-educate students,
its stockholders should pay for it. If
the PUC rules in SEA’s favor, it will
save PP&L customers 2% million
dollars.
“We've said it before,” stated
SEA spokesperson Gerald R.
Schultz, “PP&L is a public utility,
not a public school. It has no
business trying to re-educate
students, and it cannot be unbiased.
One need only look at PP&L’s
“Energy Information Center” or
examine the statements of PP&L’s
public spokesmen, to see that PP&L
is exceedingly biased in favor of
nuclear power.”
PP&L, of course, disagrees, and
has filed an answer with the PUC
stating that it can and will present a
balanced program.
