In 2007, safety performance was the best since the company's inception in 1999, and the performance of our generating stations improved significantly," CEO Jim Hankinson said Friday. "The reliability of our generating stations improved over the previous year, with the exception of the Pickering A and B nuclear stations, where one-time events unfavourably affected production in 2007," said President and CEO Jim Hankinson. Electricity generated in 2007 of 105.1 terawatt hours was essentially equal to production of 105.2 TWh in 2006. But electricity production from OPG's nuclear stations of 44.2 TWh in 2007 decreased from 2006 production of 46.9 TWh. "Production at the Pickering A station decreased primarily as a result of a requirement to perform modifications to a backup electrical system, and repair work required due to a component failure during inspection," the company said.

And from Uline in Pleasant Prairie to Logistics Health in La Crosse, we're attracting new companies and we now lead the Great Lakes in job creation.But all signs show that America's economy is slowing, and all of us will be affected in the weeks and months ahead.Many of the challenges we face today in Wisconsin can be traced to years of bad decision making in Washington.
