Am I surprised TransCanada could find somebody who could write a great report about them? Hell, no. Clegg once again called for an independent assess- ment to be conducted to see if the proposed plant is as safe as the report says it is. In the report, representatives from GL Noble Denton calculated that for people in the industrial areas closest to the 900-megawatt power plant, pro- Power plant opponents dont feel any safer C4CA gives thumbs down to TransCanada safety report See Critics page 8 Am I surprised TransCanada could find somebody who could write a great report about them?
