$1.65 billion spent on environmental technologies

The following is an excerpt about environmental stewardship from CEO/General Manager Ron Harper's recent annual meeting speech:

" ...You know, I’m quite proud of our plants because we’ve got a lot of great people out there running them, {and} we’ve got a lot of great people supporting them. ... I’m going to take you forward to the year 2012 when we bring Dry Fork Station on line. If you look at all the environmental technologies that we have applied to our plants to make them cleaner, we will have spent $1.65 billion dollars on environmental technologies. It is projected that in the year 2012, we will spend $147 million in that one year, operating those technologies. So, I don’t think we have to take a back seat to anybody on the environmental stewardship of this organization and it’s membership."

- Ron Harper, CEO/General Manager, Nov. 4, 2009
