First, I received an email this morning from a friend with a pdf attached.  From what the pdf says, the C.O.B. power plant is a thing of the past, it has been pulled as they no longer have any plans to build it anymore!  That should come as a great relief for many of us in this area.  Sure, it will mean there will not be the extra revenue to the country they expected, but it will help preserve our surrounding area.

I just hope the new bio-fuel center they are talking about is friendly to the area and not suck up too much water.  That could help replace what C.O.B. would have brought to the party.

Next, it was announced about a week ago, that Costco is finishing up a traffic study at a site in Klamath Falls, to build a new store.  While it is yet another big box coming into our town, it will at least give Wal-mart some competition.  As I have posted before, at this current time, Costco provides somewhat living wage for their employees.  This will at least give a bit back to the community that companies like Wal-mart just such away.
