In recent days Dominion has been describing their planned Wise County coal-fired facility as a "hybrid energy center" - whatever that may be.

Perhaps, their hope is it will give citizens a comfort level, like hybrid vehicles that help reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment.

When I think of the term "hybrid", it only brings "hybrid loans" to mind, and we all know what they have done to homeowners and our economy.

The Wise County plant may go the way of those hybrid loans...until someone comes up with yet another way to be creative in duping the public.
