Bigger Pie is full of guys with their own agendas for wanting funds. The idea that this is some sort of watchdog group without hidden motivations is absurd,

So where is the article wrong?

The article only touches on the most sensative issue at hand in the last sentence. WE, the customers for these services are FUNDING their research, development & process engineering of this fuel (which in most ways is happening in real time) and then they will take it and reproduce it all of the country and world. We pay for the dirty work, they take the model of the finished product and make shit tons of money (WHICH I AM ALL FOR IF DONE SO IN THE RIGHT MANNER!) and we get stuck holding the bag of debt. We don't get anything for our paid research and development but higher entergy prices in the short run.

Regardless of motive or agenda give the Bigger Pie peeps a bit of credit.

They need to get their message out so what do they do?

Why, of course, they buy space at the online destination in Jackson that gets the largest number of eyeballs and the greatest amount (by far) of reader participation.

Jackson Jambalaya!

@2:38 PM - I guess you think you are not paying for APPLES R&D efforts when you bought your iPad and iPhone.

@4:20

I have a choice not to buy an iPad. This is a regulated monopoly being allowed to force r&d cost on those obligated to pay for the services.

Ludicrous

I heard one of the Southern Company executives respond to Public Service Commissioner Presley's query on the clean coal technology as to whether it would work or not. He said "I don't know". Southern Co has the deep pockets to bet on it and turn it over to the legal department and Supervisors of Kemper County if it fails.

I'm not sure if you're an employee of MEPI mr. whoever, but please stop it. You are embarrassing yourself in front of all of us. Bigger Pie doesn't need funds nor want funds. Kelly Williams?? Please, he doesn't need your money, I'm guessing, you are the one who needs money and MPCO or Entergy is all to happy to pay for a mouthpiece. Sad, this Kemper plant is a disaster and everyone knows it.

Mississippians paid for Grand Gulf with the understanding that once the costs of building the plant were paid, Mississippians would get cheaper power rates to , in effect, pay us back for our " investment".
That didn't happen.
I would love to have my customers pay for my entire business start up loan in advance by guaranteeing my loan with their purchases of my product at a higher retail cost and guaranteeing the sale of all my product FOREVER.
The stock holders in my company would take no risk but get paid dividends. Better yet, I could sell my company later and get out of my agreement to sell my product cheaper to my customers who paid for me to get started.
If we were to get a new power plant, I would want it to compete with Entergy and reduce the cost of power for me. That is something that SHOULD be possible in a free enterprise system.
I have absolutely no reason to believe that will happen.
I expect us to be left holding the bag so power can be sold to neighboring states with more rapidly increasing populations and business development...just like when we got duped on Grand Gulf.
Mississippi isn't experiencing power shortages and if we were, it'd be poor management that oversold out of state.

1:19. So, you think Alan Lange is just a concerned citizen looking out for the taxpayer?
