Rafael Moure-Eraso, Chairman of the Chemical Safety Board, sent the letter below to Xcel Energy Inc., a utility with its headquarters in Minnesota. I’ve never seen a letter written so strongly from an investigator about the lack of cooperation about an investigation. Have you?
It would certainly be interesting to know more about what happened to cause the lack of cooperation.
Here’s link to the letter:

WOW! I find it hard to believe that Xcel came out ahead in this. It looks an awful lot like the lawyers at Xcel may have gotten more involved than necessary.

That’s the worst I have ever seen! Makes you wonder what their internal notification to management process is (or is not…)!
