Entergy is spending MILLIONS with one of the biggest public relations firms in the world to sell the NRC and citizens on their wrong relicensing plan. They have wrongfully employed their employees in this campaign, forcing them to write letters to the editor, attend NRC hearings, and make appearences IN FORCE at all events aimed at protesting the failing reactors...they are given perks for participation, and risk punishment and loss of their jobs if they don't...this is just one part of the Gestapo like environment of fear that has gripped the site, and its employees.
