Ron Harper Quotations

It's simply a lack of rail transportation of coal to Laramie River Station. We are concerned about a decline in service and efficiency.

If you lead the pack the whole year, you might as well keep on leading the pack. It's no added pressure. You just keep on doing what you've been doing all season.

Even though there's enough demand for all three units to operate at full capacity, we want to conserve coal to be able to perform during a severe cold snap, for example. We are doing everything we can to continue full production, including adding a fourth train set and purchasing coal from mines closer to the plant to reduce transportation cycle times.

The worst thing that any team can do is think about their record. The minute you start thinking more than one game ahead, you will start losing. We never even thought about 70 wins in Chicago until we got to around 65. Then it became a goal, but we were still focused on the next game.
