Two Good Articles

The first article is from January and is on Resin’s site.

-- It contains the first comments I’ve seen from the wood pole competitor, Stella-Jones. The company’s president apparently doesn’t feel threatened, but did acknowledge that the RS poles make sense for rough terrain areas.
-- I didn’t like this bravado from Paul G re the Hydro One deal, “With this deal, ‘we're going to shoot the lights out,’ says Mr. Giannelia…” Lets see the company even make (let alone sell) a full complement of poles from the two production cells before we start crowing.

The second article is from March 1 in Transmission & Distribution World and was found by a Yahoo poster.

-- It is written by two employees of Western Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative, who should join RS as salesmen.
-- I’m still a bit uncomfortable with that lifetime replacement guarantee, but it only covers “modules that fail as a result of the physical loads imposed by ice, snow, wind or lightning strikes” and so far the poles sure seem to be able to handle those.
