Solar Power Home Va
Sep/100
A new power plant that will use coal and produce 585 megawatts is being built in VA at a cost of 1.8 billion.?
What viable alternatives are available today that will work in VA, that can be built for the same price and that will produce the same amount of Elec.
Wind will not work, wrong zone. In the places where it might, the NIMBY people have said NO to wind farms.
Solar is an out right joke. So what alternative power sources would you people like to see that would produce this much power for over 1.3 million homes, at such an affordable rate? Now this needs to be doable today, not ten years from now, not some pie in the sky dream, but what will generate this much power today,
Solar thermal plants approach that size, with projects planned up to 200 MW at this point.
“Within a year, Ausra will match the price of natural gas plants, which generate electricity at about 9.2 cent per kilowatt hour, O’Donnell said. Within three years, it will match the cost of coal-fired plants, which is about 6 to 8 cents per kilowatt hour (without clean coal processes such as carbon sequestering or gassification).”
