Good morning!!!!

Drew, if I had a new part in hand I’d likely replace the old part and keep that for emergency.

The power failures in 2021 due to natural gas deliveries being reduced and lack of winterizations for the power plants coupled with 42 percent of the power plants being fired by natural gas could have been avoided with a grid tie in

Maybe those problems have been fixed?

could have been avoided with more coal plants.

hard anthracite coal run though stack scrubbers can run fairly clean, but likely not as clean as LNG. Our air is statistically cleaner since we reduced the burning of coal for electricity, but maybe because those old plants never got scrubbers. The power plant in Trenton NJ has been running on coal for a long time. It definitely got scrubbers, several times. Only reason that part of the Delaware River was kept dredged and cleared so that barges of coal could come upriver from Philadelphia to the power plant at Trenton.

pretty durable fuel, just dump it on the ground...

if they are waiting for 9 new nuke plants, well good luck. Doesn't it take ten years for them to be approved and built?

wind is picking up, over 20 mph sustained with lots of higher gusts.
almost sounds like being in a washing tub with the wind and water blasting on the outside. Really is a difference this being fresh water though since the wind is off the ocean, might not be all that fresh.

Sorry to be MIA but Mrs Gas went to be with Jesus Sunday evening.

So so sorry to read this, condolences and prayers.

why replace gas plants? replace windmills

Had to laugh when picturing Scott in his speedo holding a colorful umbrella drink on a tropical island standing up and sitting down quickly trying to beat my time.

Good Evening Don,
Wow, that would be a sight, wouldn’t it !
Haven’t had a Speedo on since I was on the high school swim team, back in the sixties !
Did get a good chuckle on that one !

Hope all have a good evening !

Texas does have a bullion depository now but I'm not aware we are minting our own currency. Yet.

Well, the facilities are there… and possession is 9/10s when push comes to shove…

Maybe they have, if reliance upon unreliable sources like wind and solar have been accounted for.

“No Nukes!” Was a death knell.
