ReplyDeleteI have not heard a thing. I have trouble believing it wasn't a specific decision made by SecEnergy Granholm. This would be exactly something a life-long politician would do. If this lasts longer than a week, a lot of folks are going to be asking questions. The fastest way to get this data published is for an agency like the API to "exaggerate" how bad things really are.
DeleteThank you for the reminder. I am still working on "Top Stories." I had actually forgotten to add this one. Thank you.
