Coal Power Online

wild_eep asked:


I need something quite authoritative and definitive that will stand up to scrutiny. However, I’m only looking for base load figures, averaged over your generic power station classes (coal, CCGT, OCGT etc). Assume OCGT burns distillate and the coal is bituminous. But that’s too much detail for now…

elgüero asked:


Assuming your power grid is powered by a coal fired power plant. Is the overall carbon footprint still significantly greater? Would the 80 cents per mile in gasoline be offset by a noticeably higher utility bill at home or do you still end up way ahead?
Sorry, not 80 cents per mile, they are saying that with the Volt it’d be like driving a conventional car but paying 80 cents per gallon.

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=)

Ok first of all, how can someone possibly say it’s either coal or nothing? Because that’s is just not true, there are many ways to produce electrical power. And perhaps a ban on coal power plants that don’t sequester ALL there emmisions is more reasonible.
Please do contact your represenatives in government on all levels, I think that’s a great idea because when someone is passionate enough about an issue to actually take the time to contact them they know that there are many more that feel the same way but just haven’t gotton in touch with them to tell them.
