CEO Quote Regarding Climate Change:

"Entergy is committed to build a consensus for responsible global climate change policy.  The future cannot be predicted.  It must be created based upon our conscience, our own set of values, our sense of right and wrong, and the legacy we want to leave for future generations.  The choices we make today about how to generate electricity will depend on whether we take into account the true cost of new generation—including environmental costs and including the uncertainty of climate change."
