“Ameren Corporation claims, putting in SO2 scrubbers would cost more than securitizing Rush Island’s ‘stranded assets.’ However, Ameren is avoiding what it would fully cost to replace Rush Island’s critically needed and reliable capacity.”
Thomas Jefferson wrote in Volume 4 of Notes on Virginia: “With money we will get men, said Cæsar, and with men we will get money.”[1]
