Living close to the plant, you get cheap electricity?
'Course if that were the case I oughta be gettin' anti-freeze for free...the glycol plant is only about six miles away. Every time I smell an overheated car it makes me think of catching red drum in the bay next to the glycol plant.
Do they call up in the middle of the night and try to explain in a recorded, monotone voice, message to your terrified daughter, "Do Not Panic, There Has Been An Accident...."
I betcha I'd swap with you in a New York minute. I swear, there are some nights that the ground shakes for miles and miles around. NObody should have thier hand on that BIG a stick...
Try and have a fish hatchery in that neighborhood, the state environmental regulators make you out to be ten times worse than any such plant.
We got a pretty good nuke plant down the coast. Trouble is, the one time we really needed it, it was shut down for repairs. "Rolling blackouts" is what they do around here in summer or winter if power consumption overrides production. Hence my building a genset of for the fish farm.
It is a made in India Petter style diesel, water cooled with a water pump and radiator, 1800 rpm, and can burn vegetable oil and/or diesel.
No windmills around here because the salty, warm, moist climate is too corrosive. My BIL says as technology improves we should see windmills along the Gulf Coast, just offshore.
Most of the powerplants around here burn natural gas.
