Vermont Yankee
Chelios:
I thought we were talking about Vermoont Yankee, no Ben & Jerry's

Here's a link to much of the trouble at VY. It's called the School for International Training and it's in Brattleboro.
http://www.sit.edu/index.html
Here's some of the course work:
International Education
Language and Culture
NGOs and Civil Society
Peace and Conflict Transformation
Social Justice
Socially Responsible Management
Sustainable Development
Teacher Preparation
This place will use VY as a proving ground for protests; die-ins; love-ins;etc. If Raytheon or Mcdonnell Douglas were in town then they'd be the target for being corporate greed and injustice.
Instead it's VY just trying to churn out megawattts for the farmers and granola crunchers. Not that I don't like granola.
This 'school' used to run monthly demonstrations at VY as regular as clockwork when Seabrook was being targeted, too.
Carolina Jethro:
Super nice people at VY... most of the people in area were pretty nice too. If I ever go on the road again this will be one of my first stops. If they just didn't talk so funny and if they would learn how to cook! [smiley=wave.gif]

I worked the re-rack project at VY in the 80's. I liked the plant. I lived in Burlington from 1997 to 2001 and loved Lake Champlain. If you work VY take a trip up to Burlington, great town. On another note, Ben and Jerry no longer own Ben and Jerry's. They sold out a couple of years ago to some conglomerate (the name was kept). Ben and Jerry aren't even affiliated with the ice cream anymore because they didn't like some of the things the conglomerate wanted to do.

Well, I'm still boycotting B&J's 'cause it got me spited. I promise that I'll never eat it again! By the way, I think that the folks at VY are really nice when this 'ol southern boy falls on the ice up there. They hardly laugh at all.
