“Great Highway Robbery” — Innovation Always Has Critics
Back in the 1950s, a few Sunday Drivers tried to put the brakes on progress—the progress of the United States Interstate System. The interstate system ended up driving a 500% return to the American people, but these critics still piled up:
High and skinny pyramid of iron ladders, this giant ungainly skeleton upon a base that looks built to carry a colossal monument of Cyclops, but which just peters out into a ridiculous thin shape like a factory chimney. — Guy de Maupassant, Writer.
- “The Great Highway Robbery” – Miami News
– “Our national flower is the concrete cloverleaf.” – Lewis Mumford, American Historian
– “Socialistic Scheme.” – Some members of Congress
Today, a small group of similarly minded “thinkers” are trying to stop progress by preventing innovation at Mississippi’s landmark Kemper Power Plant.
The Kemper Project will boost American Oil Production by 2 million barrels per year and bring fuel diversity to Mississippi. If one lane of fuel ever shuts down, the Kemper Power Plant will provide a safer route to energy security.
We invite you to browse this website to learn about Kemper and join the conversation with us on Facebook or Twitter. You can also roll your mouse over the postcard to share it.
