I like the vintage 1960's control room.
I can just hear Buddy Holly on the radio in there!

I'm shocked at the discouraging words on this clip. I've been in the field for 25 years. During this time, I've never seen anyone loose their job because of deregulation. Deregulation hasn't worked in most states. That's why - if I'm not mistaken - there are only 5 or 8 states who are deregulated. This is a very promising career. One which has allowed me to raise my kids in an upper middle class neighborhood. My salary as a Shift Supervisor in a low capacity power plant exceeds $100K/year.
