Westinghouse Electric Company does nuclear power plant stuff.

Westinghouse Electronics sells crappy consumer tv's. I know this because I tried to deal with warranty issues on a Westinghouse TV for my mother in-law. Throw it away.

There's a whole bunch of other Westinghouse companies.

The father of a guy I went to HS with supervised the closing of the Westinghouse factory my grandfather worked at. I remember fun times there at the company family dinners they would put on for employees families.

I bet that was something. I have relatives that worked for GE in Cincinnati when it was still very family oriented. They had a pretty large park and golf course just for employees, as I recall. We had family reunions there annually for decades.

Don't get confused with appliance manufacturers, they swap nameplates more than tractors.

Really?
Surprising, I thought they were just some legacy name the Chinese paste on Christmas wall projectors and LED flashlights, but they still build nuclear power plants.
if you say so!

Just as Husqvarna is at least 3 unrelated companies using the same name and logo.

And the once premier Bell Helmets logo is now on junk on the bicycle aisle at Walmart.

Rail is undependable and slow. Sawmills have tried sending wood that way and gotten burned; once it's on a RR car you lose control over it. Picture loading logs onto a car in June destined for a veneer mill, only to have it unhooked and left on an obscure siding for whatever reason. By the time it gets where it's going two months later your 1/4 million dollars worth of wood has spoiled and become firewood.

Yes, 19th century technology, except worse. What do you expect out of a bunch of bean counters only interested in milking rail for every nickel? Our rail system is one of the biggest failures of capitalism.

No kiddin. Cleaner than decades ago? Yes. But clean? No.

It's not bad out of the stack. They have cleaned up most of the acid rain, but the ash is a horrible problem; radioactive and poisonous.

When Chrysler went out of business, nobody noticed.

That's funny, i didn't know they were out of business.

The 2 best things about my hillbillies 24/7/365 free tv channel is......within minutes of turning it on, granny is screaming for her gun or her jug and.....especially in the older episodes, miss jane drives the coolest mopar ragtops, different almost every time. 64 plymouth yesterday......red!

Even though we were raised Pontiac people, i've always loved mid 60s mopars

Each year, more and more coal fired power plants in the US are being decommissioned or converted to natural gas. For coal, the handwriting is on the wall.

I think we’re beginning to see you have issues with coal.
