The Martins Creek plant is on the Delaware River in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, about 15 miles north of Easton, Pa. The plant has two coal-fired generating units, each with a capacity of 150,000 kilowatts. The plant also has two units which can be fueled by either natural gas or oil, with a total generating capacity of 1,592,000 kilowatts.
I would think the obvious answer is that it's running on natural gas or oil through a pipeline. bob allen wrote: > http://www.newhopepa.com/DelawareRiver/port_jervis_bristol_2.htm > > > How about keeping an open mind Bob. > > I try, but I also try to guard against gullibility.
