And the sole coal plant is being retrofitted to NG in a few years. The coal trains that supplied it are now being repurposed to load ships headed to the orient. Wind farms are sprouting up all over the state. Natural gas plants are not getting built, but solar is growing, and the older hydro facilities are being removed. Blame Warren Buffet.
Buffet purchased the trains that haul the coal. He scooped up the local mega power company. I would not be surprised if he has a fleet of ships to take coal east. Or, that he has an investment interest in building the new nuke plants being planned out here. clay On Aug 16, 2014, at 7:03 AM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes wrote: >> 38% of power still comes from coal. > > Here in WA it's something like 80% hydroelectric. > > -- Jim > > > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those > individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
