[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5663509, member: 58386"] The issue is not generating capacity and clean energy at that. If fact there is quite a bit waiting to come on line , Wally. The problem rests with the cost of modernization and upgrading of the grid. Years to do it and billions to be spent. In fact just yesterday plans for a twin (1240 megawatt each) gas turbine fired power plant in Pennsylvania were scrapped for several different reasons. 1. Too close to town to meet air quality requirements. 2. Would have to run a gas line (16") 7 miles to the plant. 3. Would have a pretty tough time generating power at a cost that could compete in today's deregulated market. [/QUOTE]
