That still doesn't tell the story of the far left voting to close down
and convert a fully powered and Just certified Nuclear plant and turn it
into a gas fired plant at massive cost to the citizens for many years.
Oh - Sacramento Ca. was the place. Brand new and shinny plant that took
twenty years of red tape to build in the first place.

One thinks Bio-fuel is cost low. Gas is low. Bio-fuel - wood chips and
stumps and junk wood - costs to much to make electric power.
We have such a plant here in town. I knew the management. The chips
are worth more to make boards and paper. The forest that was flattened
by a Hurricane - you didn't hear of it, it was the one just after the
one that hit the party town of La. We had deaths and massive damage.
Those forest burned in part due to lighting hitting the felled trees.
A real mess. But the trees are to far away with the outrageous high
value for truck fuel to truck it 100 miles. So a plant was built
down there and it is running on burnt wood. Just dirty but it is good.

Alternate energy anybody?

i want to relate this to wood somehow

i heard that nuclear power plants are so expensive to build and maintain
and dispose of and decommission that we could create at least as much
and possibly more energy by burning all the urban tree trimmings to
boil water

bushes and leaves too

but in austria they have a device that converts trash into energy via plasma
conversion
this method leaves zero emissions

for austria it was so successful that they actually began importing trash
from finland

people have tried to get this done in US but of course all the useful idiots
are in all the right places and so landfills keep growing

i see in a quick search there is a plant in florida
