That is transiting through the Puget Sound outside Seattle. I was on a ballistic missile sub, so we never went under ice. Lots of time off the coast of Alaska.
Actually, that would be Solar.
Lets see... I did 8 patrols from 1993 to 1998 (maybe early 1999).
You should see the emissions controls over here... ;Facepalm SCR, Anhydrous Ammonia, Limestone, Baghouse, Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization, Solids Reduction System... before too long, making electricity will be a byproduct of cleaning coal.
You should see the strip mines where they pull the lithium and "rare earth" for these electric cars and solar panels... huge craters dug in the ground. All the acreage it takes to set up a solar farm, when you can put up a gas plant in the same spot that takes up a 1/8 of the land and makes 4 times the MW, around the clock rain or shine.
It's not bad technology when used in moderation.
nice...auto plants generally have a generating stations on site, we changed over to gas because it was too costly and we didn't have the real estate for all the scrubbers mandated to continue using coal....BTW nuclear generation seems low compared to your fossils and was also surprised you are generating that much solar
I share your environmental concerns, but I am glad we left the Kyoto treaty. It didn't do much to help the environment. As one member of the UN put it, it was "the best chance at global wealth redistribution we may ever have". The US would have had to pay billions a year to less developed countries while China continues to commission 2 new coal plants a month. Doesn't seem very environmentally focused to me.
Great choices! I would also grab one of these guys as a hunter. Smartest fish Ive encountered yet, very pretty and my first failure with a trap. I actually see him laughing at me when i put it in the tank
