Hodson said Omnis intends to build a so-called quantum reformer next to the power plant. That facility would heat hydrocarbons at extremely high temperatures to produce synthetic graphite, and generate large quantities of hydrogen as a byproduct. In turn, the hydrogen would fuel Pleasants Power Station to produce electricity.
“We think there’s an opportunity to save the coal-fired plants by retrofitting them,” Hodson said. “We can’t keep shutting power plants down and not expect the cost of power to go up. We’re trying to preserve these plants wherever we can by producing two products.”

Most people don't write and publish memoirs admitting to such things
But Hunter did. That was a very bad decision on his part. Personally, I feel he should have been charged with the gun purchase as a felony, given this admission.
Or should we start working to remove this question from the background check form, and argue to the American public that it's acceptable for people using illegal narcotics to purchase firearms? Because if we're going to turn a blind eye to the law, why even have it on the books?

The same thing was said about "Bowling for Columbine"
And the same thing was said after "Runaway Jury" in 2003:

Over a decade later, and the power of the NRA and other gun lobbies doesn't appear to have diminished in the slightest.
Everything old is new again.
