On Saturday, some Coatesville officials toured an FPL-owned power plant in Sayreville, N.J. (That's it to the right.) City Manager Harry Walker came away with this impression:

“It’s essentially a closed book whether there any public safety issues with regard to the modern, gas-fired steam turbine and its effect on the surrounding community,” he said. “Now, the question for the city is: What is the highest and best use of its real estate?”

Florida Power and Light -- the parent company of FPL Energy, one of the outfits that has proposed building a power plant in Coatesville -- had a rough day in its home state yesterday.

Maybe they really do
need that power plant in the city...

Here's a link to a copy of the FLP Energy literature titled "Questions and Answers about the Proposed Coatesville Energy Center."

It was distributed to the audience at the last City Council meeting by Fourth Ward Councilman Kurt Schenk.
