Solid Energy CEO Don Elder walked the plank yesterday. Good riddance. Quite apart from running the company into the ground and pushing wacky schemes to mine lignite and set coal seams on fire, this was a man who used public money to spy on protestors and subvert government policy, and who pushed for an SOE to be removed from the Official Information Act. We are well rid of him.
