So can you bring plants back from the dead?  well when you need power you will restart them.  south korea also brought up 2 units that need maintenance...running them because they need power.  wonder if Germany will ever get a clue.

Yeah....but California doesn't lead in something that isn't fully PC.  Nuclear plants are an up and coming way to be environmentally sound and produce a large amount of power for greenies.  Cali has to wait until everyone else green does it then they can get on board.  Maybe Germany could lead the way for them.  Solar panels and windmills are really PC right now so Cali has to wait and keep pretending they are the answer.  It doesn't matter how effective, cheap or good it is, it has to be PC first and foremost for Cali to fully embrace.

Duane Arnold has been on the short list since the list of twelve was developed,....

IUB extended DA's PPA in 2013, but with Next Era's growth in wind production, proximity to Dakota and the other usual suspect market factors, DA's reprieve has always been just that,...

been there, dun that,... the doormat to hell does not read "welcome", the doormat to hell reads "it's just business"

We drove through Wisconsin last weekend coming home from a trip. It was a beautiful day. We drove past literally 100+ windmills, not a single one of them turning. I couldn't help but think... How much does that cost?

between the Wisconsin Dells and Madison on I-94 there has been a massive windfarm installation spanning approximately 50 miles, oft times on both sides of the I-94 corridor, as a setpiece example of wind power,....

ostensibly, wind power saves trees,....

except the trees which have to be cutdown to make way for the windfarm,....

50 miles of trees, a swath 200 feet wide,....

stacked as cordwood every 100 yards or so, each stack roughly equal to 1,250 cords of firewood,...

17 stacks per mile, 1,250 cords per stack, 21,250 cords of trees cut down to build a tree saving wind farm,....


but,......


I'm not done,....


to build the windfarms the construction crews need corduroy access roads so that the construction vehicles do not get bogged down in mud or snow or sand,...

those access roads are built not with the the trees felled and stacked as cordwood,....

those newly dead trees are not uniform or strong enough for the heavy duty needs,....

so, the wood ties are trucked in from a place where large, symmetrical, strong, living trees can be cut down and milled into ties of uniform size and strength ties to build a corduroy access road,...

a road which runs in ten mile lengths with two or three mile breaks along the way,...

a road twenty feet wide, 1.5 feet high,....

another 32,500 cords of trees sacrificed to save trees,...

from a windfarm which, after continuous construction efforts for better than a year, has yet to get one windmill spinning,...

and yet, has quickly and efficiently killed  53,750 cords worth of living trees,...

your subsidy dollars at work,...

putting power on the grid and saving trees,....

well, at least good intentions to put power on the grid and save trees,...

some day, somewhere, in some alternate reality,.....
