	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Purchasing power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In economics, purchasing power refers to the amount of goods and services a given amount of money — or, more generally, liquid assets — can buy.
		As Adam Smith noted, having money gives one the ability to "command" others' labor, so purchasing power to some extent is power over other people.
		Falling purchasing power can thus be part of inflation.

	See no evil, speak no evil: nuclear refurbishment in New Brunswick
		NB Power health physics lab technical specialist Ralph Mapplebeck, who oversees the company's testing of Duck Cove fish, notes that Lepreau's cooling water is in a "closed loop" that is designed to be completely separate from all "hot" (radioactive) components of the plant.
		NB Power's in-house environmental testing may be accurate and reliable, but it is carried out by a company that is strongly committed to nuclear energy production and promotion.
		N.B. Power's monitoring reports, which the Conservation Council of New Brunswick obtained through a Right to Information request, show that Lepreau's spent cooling water, like that of other CANDU reactors, is contaminated with radioactive tritium, a long lived radionuclide that can cause serious health and environmental problems.

		A spokesperson for NB Power says it's insulting to suggest that accounting changes the company made last summer might not have been legal.
		Peter Hyslop, who represents the public at NB Power's ongoing rate hearing, said Wednesday he wants more details on the accounting change, which wiped out millions of dollars in hydro-dam income from NB Power Distribution and Customer Service (DISCO).

		Dr Tucker’s key findings in “Power Trip: Stumbling Toward a Policy for NB Power” were that the company’s debt position remained acute and that existing assets would indeed be unable to service future debt payments without additional major borrowings to refurbish them.
		NB Power argues, “the province is not assuming any of the company’s debt upon restructuring.” However, a newly created crown agency will assume $1.5 billion of the company’s debt—for which taxpayers remain ultimately responsible.
		Among other alleged “inaccuracies” listed by NB Power in their press release, it is stated: “For example, the Point Lepreau Generating Station is not being expanded” The paper used the term “expansion” with respect to Point Lepreau only in specific reference to the 1993 expansion.
