someone once said, "Even a coward defends their dinner like a hero".

Here is some history of Swepco, and of its parent company AEP.

You may recall a Houston-based company, Enron.

When Enron fell into bankruptcy, due to dishonest financial dealings.

In the peak of the Enron debacle, traders would deliberately shuffle power assets off-line to increase the value of stock commodites.

One of Enron's associates was American Electric Power.

On December 19, 2007, just three months ago, a federal judge in New York ordered
AEP to pay $374 million dollars to settle a dispute that had its origins with Enron.

AEP grosses $12 billion a year. They keep $1 billion of that for themselves.

Swepco and its parent AEP are like tobacco companies.
They make money building coal-fired powerplants.
They sell you the product, which destroys your health and
they spend a great deal of time and money making sure you have no other alternative.

Do you want your family members digging the coal out of the mines, or would you rather have other people do it?

Do your children live downwind of a Swepco coal-fired power plant?
