Back at the turn of the last decade, there were a huge number of natural gas fired peaking plants built in Indiana. They shipped the power out of state, but these things tended to create environmental messes which pissed off the locals. So they fought for a state law that would force the electric companies to get a permit from the state through a regulatory process that required the use of trained personnel only on the construction of the plants. The electric and construction companies fought it tooth and nail, and said that it there was no danger of there being an explosion if there was a problem with the construction. They said that painting pictures of these gas peaking plants blowing up was a scare tactic by organized labor to get their members work........

It would make a brilliant political ad campaign... En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
Those damn overpaid operating engineers can obviously be replaced by $24k per year temps.
