The journalist got their two sources, quotes, and met deadline, but they didn't explain what happened.

It's weird the reporter didn't interview opponents. There's a tonne of interesting questions waiting to be answered:

  1. Why the hostility?
  2. What were the actual objections, from the objectors, not "locals had safety concerns, felt the process was rushed and that Baseload Power wasn't providing adequate information" from a second-hand source.
  3. Was there organized opposition? If so, who organized it?
  4. How did people find out about the plan?
  5. How did people find out about the meeting?

And some harder stuff from the company would have been good:

  1. What were the proposed benefits to the town?
  2. Where else have they built these things?
  3. What's their track record?
  4. Why there?
  5. How long had the plan been in the works?
  6. Who owns the company?
