I guess Invenergy is expanding its renewable resource portfolio then. What else explains this:
First off, these three are from Missouri, born and bred. Michael Polsky is not. Invenergy isn't even a company based in Missouri. Its headquarters are in Chicago.
What the heck, Invenergy... "our legacy"? Invenergy has no legacy in Missouri, aside from the absolute misery it has put thousands of landowners through over the past decade trying to build a merchant transmission project that doesn't have enough customers to be viable.
Invenergy has no "legacy" as a genius, American or otherwise. It's a company. It's not human. It has no brain of its own. The real heroes that Invenergy used in its latest round of shameless propaganda were actual real people who did things to entertain or sustain people. They didn't take private property from Missourians to fill their own pockets.
Does the crackpot PR team at Invenergy headquarters really think this kind of trash is going to impress "the locals"? It's more likely to just... well... piss them off.
Besi menya.
Invenergy has been busier than a well-funded political candidate mailing out the oversized glossy card stock ads that fill everyone's mailbox in the run up to election day. Ya know what happens to all that stuff? Right in the trash can. Nobody reads it.
But what if they did? Would some random person who got one of these glossy ads in their mailbox really take the time to go to a website and tell them why they support something they know nothing about? Not. Happening.
Ya know... I'm going to take a guess here that the only people who sign up may be the dead and gone Mark (who had a real name that all Missourians know), J.C. and Walt. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they signed up many, many times over the coming weeks and told Invenergy just why it is that they support the taking of private property for corporate profit.
Invenergy missed the boat though... Maya Angelou might have been a better choice of native Missourian. They could have even quoted her...
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
