Скачать или смотреть The Kemper Plant's Domino Effect on Mississippi - Faces of Kemper

Dr. Lou Finkle, owner of School & Carnival Supplies in Hattiesburg and Gulfport MS, talks about how rising electricity costs will wipe out net profits and lead to closures of many businesses along the coast. He also points out that education will suffer because of the higher cost of getting materials from other states. He warns new businesses against coming to the area because of rising rates.

Upcoming electricity bill increases due to Mississippi Power Company's $4-billion clean coal plant under construction in Kemper County, MS will hurt residents and cripple small businesses.

It doesn't have to be this way. Other states are benefiting from cheap energy from natural gas. Mississippians can, too.

At Bigger Pie Forum (BPF) we research and talk about ideas. We want to encourage economic freedom, discourage cronyism, and help Mississippi's economy grow. http://www.biggerpieforum.org
