Smokestacks in the news

Its not often that the Trib features two smokestack pictures in a single day. Page 1 of the A Section featured the Denfeld Smokestack that is being demolished by JCI for $300,000 to save money. Page 1 of the B Section showed the smokestack of the Duluth Steam Plant that was renovated by JCI for $4.2 million dollars in 2006 and which JCI promised to save the City $6 million dollars in energy savings. Not true says the City which says the savings will be at most $1.6 million meaning the City will lose out on a promised $4.6 million dollars.
