Normally I would delete such spam, but this particular piece of spam provides a window into the public relations mechanisms routinely employed by corporate interests to create an appearance of grassroots support.

My team went to the Harriman Dispatching Center in Omaha, Neb., where 800 employees work around the clock to ensure the smooth operation of Union Pacific’s entire rail operation—which helps move coal to produce nearly half of the country’s electricity.

They went behind the scenes of this operation for the 2009 Factuality Tour—take a look to see photos, videos and interviews from our stop in Omaha. I hope it will enlighten you on what it takes to produce America’s power.
