Yes. Nothing like ideas so good they have to be forced at gunpoint.If they could do that, they wouldn't have to demand we change, we would likely change on our own. They know and we know it is going to be a kludge, but they're for it because there is a payday involved and they think it will never affect them
They are using wind, solar and battery powerIP$L is not using green energy to my knowledge.
If I had to guess I would expect it to be the same thing with a net paint job. These people just aren't very imaginative most of the time.I just looked into IPL and green energy. What the hell is a green energy credit. Is it like the elusive and worthless carbon credit.
Ok. How much per MW?sure you can but it will cost out the ass to get it here....
No. Reason coal trains run all over the place is powder basin coal is cheaper than ours. Dirty burning but utilities rather save a buck now.Fixed it for you.
You do realize this proves over 75% production is from Coal and Nat.Gas right?Green energy had been supplying the electricity you all been using at rates topping 30% in the last year alone.
Over 5% right now. Look at the pie chary

Wow you need take a class. The reason a plant burns a certain coal is because of it's composition. A boiler and the emissions were designed to burn a certain coal. They don't have the ability to burn whatever they find cheapest and a good many of them burn a blend.No. Reason coal trains run all over the place is powder basin coal is cheaper than ours.

i certainly understand, i believe you do notYou do realize that is a real time snapshot, right?
16 years ago, that chart may have hit 1000 MW. Now it routinely tops 12-15 GW. In recent weeks, it's topped 20 GW
Ignoring your first sentence, the rest is true. Your conclusions aren't. That's exactly why boilers started having so much slaging issues because bean counters ignored design parameters and started burning cheap ass coal from out west.Wow you need take a class.

It all depends on the boiler design, they are not the same
Who said they were ?Please explain how solar and wind are close to replacing coal, nuclear and nat.gas

Slag comes with the territory, no way past it. Doesn't change the fact the boiler and emissions were designed for a certain coal characteristic. If someone burned whatever was cheapest they would constantly be redesigning their FGD. Or be paying fines.Ignoring your first sentence, the rest is true. Your conclusions aren't.

Biden says its going to be in decline pretty soon. LolWho said they were ?
Who said coal, nat gas, nuclear are in decline? Me.
nat gas is what's killing coal right now, cheaper to build, fuel, and maintain
At the design parameters, slagging is much less. With dirty blends it becomes necessary to deslag more often sometimes much more often.Slag comes with the territory, no way past it.

Insolation at the equator is between 380 and 430 W/sq meter (depending on the time of the year) for no more than twelve hours per dayThen you should know that they can transmit power from where solar is good in the winter.
