Look at totality of the issues attached to traditional power and there is no comparison.

We have contracted with a leading data center and our magazine a related digital efforts (seen in something like 500 cities around the country and the world so far in beta) are housed in at least two of these massive data farms around the country and it would be in alignment with my personal commitment if these data farms were powered with clean energy.

Ideally we should figure out a way to use these power plants indefinitely to truly get to zero emissions (every new construction project released massive amount of carbon). So I took it upon my self to began to contact possible buyers as mentioned above last week. Berkshire & Microsoft for example. So we'll see if what happens...Perry Andropolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830410996999735049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500629126473510080.post-77390063536309354002013-03-16T08:44:06.967-05:002013-03-16T08:44:06.967-05:00A grassroots group from the area around the Kewaun...A grassroots group from the area around the Kewaunee Power Plant had a meeting Wed.<br />Seemed everyone gathered to commiserate. The regions state rep. said maybe we can save the next one. When I went to talk to him about my idea his eyes seemed to glass over. What they are putting out is that natural gas prices are so low that can't sell the power (thanks to fracking) No rep. and no help from Walkers office. 5-6 billion to build a new one and this one has 20 left on its lic. <br />I just had to stick my nose into this issue.<br />More soon.Perry Andropolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830410996999735049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500629126473510080.post-33526022480759101622013-03-16T08:15:37.889-05:002013-03-16T08:15:37.889-05:00This issue - the in action by the powers that be a...This issue - the in action by the powers that be are stunning. I had heard about this issue a while ago a I surely thought commonsense would prevail - the plant would have a new buyer (it is a licensed (for 20 more years nuke plant) would be in place - but no my bad. Our Wisconsin Governor is not even involved. Stunning. Energy security is a National Security issue I thought. Last time I checked anyway...Anyway after dealing with my father illness and death over the last 3 months I was a bit distracted but to see that this power plant is scheduled to close May 7, 2013 - is beyond stupid.Perry Andropolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830410996999735049noreply@blogger.com
