Our power technology group is investing in fuel cells and other distrib-
uted generation technologies. They’re studying new innovations to discover
how we can apply them to improve service, work smarter and better, and
protect the environment better.
We take our environmental responsibilities seriously. Protecting the
environment is a growing concern for many Americans. They expect and
deserve responsible stewardship from industry. Our challenge is to comply
fully with all federal and state environmental regulations while growing
the company and increasing shareholder value.
Late last year, we announced a groundbreaking agreement in principle
with the United States Environmental Protection Agency. It commits us to
more than $1.2 billion—most of it already planned and budgeted—in
environmental protection projects over the next dozen years at several
of our coal-fired power stations in West Virginia and Virginia.
We’re pleased with this agreement and the certainty it will give us going
forward. And it will have a huge and positive impact on the environment.
Stricter Environmental Regulations: A Fact of Life
We’ll use our expanded network—planned to span more than 9,000 route miles
—to provide Internet, video conferencing and other broadband services.
