I cant see how First Energy will get off scot free here. Truly despicable.

It was 3/8 of an inch of steel jacketing away from a meltdown in 2002.

Disclaimer: I'm in Pennsylvania where the frackers did something similar - on a smaller scale - 7 or 8 years ago. We're still trying to clean up that mess, and we've got a long way to go.
