Gene,

Don't forget charter air freight.  Our county and state leaders spent big 
bucks (courtesy of us taxpayers) to build an airport just a few miles closer 
to the local Whirlpool plant because they wanted the convenience (for when 
they screw up).  These community leaders are the same geniuses that promoted 
the natural gas fueled power plant when natural gas was already in short 
supply.  Their claim... "they can't raise the cost of electricity without 
approval of PUCO."  True, except for one thing... fuel costs are allowed to 
be passed through.  !#$%^&
