Who abdicated and left the Sierra Club in charge? Animals and trees are abundant all over this great country. I don't think they should be put over human survival. What the heck!

lets change it from a coal plant to a nuke. they are more efficient

Jobs are jobs. Why is everyone so blind to the fact that we, as Americans need to create jobs, whenever and where ever possible. I am a firm believer in taking care of our planet. I do not believe in the fracking thats being done in Arkansas for natural gas. I think it could have severe impact environmentally. Other that that, lets get some work going. Bring back some of our manufacturing jobs, and start buying American. Remember the old Sam Walton " Buy American ". Now Walmart is the largest single importer of Chinese good on the planet. I don't need to be slapped in the head with a 2 X 4 to figure out where that has gotten us. Maybe we need to fire up a saw mill first and make a lot more 2 X 4's. Bring back the textile industry. Good Lord, lets do something productive.

Charlie, I think you mean "thousand" (1400 to be precise) jobs, and those are temporary construction jobs. This plant will have only 110 permanent positions if/when it is in production. Donnie, the people of Arkansas are not actually going to be getting power from this plant. Just pointing that out. But hey, I do like your extreme thinking. I think that's a healthy attitude.

Yeah there ya go Arkansas,jobs are like the lockness monster now and you want to kill a company thats bringing thousands of jobs here and will send a message to other business's that thinks of coming here. A true God sent to Arkansas and people cant except it......SHAME.

These people should have their power disconnected, never to have access to electricity again. Guess they think it just grows on trees like the governments money. HA
