Jessica W asked:


Consider a new 38% efficient 600MW power plant burning 9000 Btu/lb coal containing 1% sulfur. If a 70% efficient scrubber is used, what would be the emission rate of sulfur in lb/hr?
any help would be great

Jennifer asked:


power from, and also if he thinks that $4.00 a gallon for gas is cheap and he thinks it should be higher. I don’t know about you but the cost of jobs, the increase cost of electricity, and the increase cost of gas (because we currently do not have the infrastructure that Europe has with railways and extensive bus routes. What are we going to do.
This coupled with increased taxes, I am not certain how we are suppose to survive?
We are not a wealthy family, about 40,000 a year and I am disabled. How will I feed my family, how will I be able to afford for my husband to get to work if the price of gas goes to $7.00 a gallon, and how will I be able to keep us warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
I know that he is “effervescent” say some, but don’t we want someone to HELP the public not take away jobs, increase the tax burden and the amount of money that we pay just for essentials?
I am confused. It is one thing to vote for someone to make history, but another to vote for someone who is going to make history but taxing us into oblivion.

What are your thoughts?

What will the headlines on the paper be on Wednesday morning. Welcome to a new era of the 2nd great depression.

Well done America, well done.

we are ALWREADY hurting the enviroment and more plants will speed up the dammage we are doing so please (For the rest of the world) try other sources (solar wind etc)
But ALL coyntries WILL have to suffer plus the enviromental dammage could kill cows,pigs,birds,cats,dogs

If not please, I beg you, read the article at this site…

then take action!!

Please send in emails and ask for this not to be built before Feb. 28!! We need as much help as we can get and our voices must be heard. Thank You for your help!

ps- tell every one you know to send emails!
sorry the link above might not work

oh sorry I live in North Carolina, but my state will not be the only one affected by this….there are 25 power plants purposed, and the date on this one is increasing its deadline!!
Also North Carolina does NOT need the extra energy that would be coming from the plant..they are just rushing the deadlines because in 2009 new guidelines will be passed that would make it more expensive to build and mantian the plants……thats why they are building them now.

We want Wind Farms in the App. Mountains and Solar Powered Plants as well.
NUCLEAR PLANTS ARE NOT CLEAN AT ALL!!

but thanks for insulting me in the process, you can take the nuclear plant in your backyard=)

Rationality Personified asked:


If you had to choose between getting your electric power from an existing coal-burning power plant 100 miles (160 km) away from your home or having a new nuclear power plant built within 5 miles (8 km) of your home, which would you choose and why? Don’t forget the resistive power losses that occur in power transmission lines, causing power to be wasted the farther the power plant is from the customer.
