In a January interview with Philadelphia magazine before the "quiet period," PES CEO Philip Rinaldi promised to be a responsible corporate citizen and to work to allay the concerns of environmentalists But he said that broader opposition to the ambitious, if vague, energy-hub plan is rooted in naivete. "If that's what you want to do, if you want to have all windmills and solar panels, that's great," he said then. "It's not practical, it's not going to work. The society's not going to run that way. Responsible people know that."
