it is obvious to all but the completely mechanically illiterate

Well, that would be me, and that's why I asked -- no offense taken, though. Meanwhile we have two proposals for "clean" coal powerplants in Western New York.

One doesn't make sense economically and the other is being held up by the enviros who've made it clear they won't tolerate a single molecule of CO2 being emitted into the air.

I suppose that once we've all switched to fluorescent bulbs, the whole problem will have been solved. Meanwhile Louise will spend a few millions of our money on a project that won't work.

Upon re-reading, my response is rude, sorry.

Someone mentioned a comparison to a windmill, and it would work about the same if it weren’t for the trash in the water. Consider however that a windmill has to be 200 feet in diameter to produce meaningful power. I don’t think the river is that deep.

“enviros... made it clear they won’t tolerate a single molecule of CO2 being emitted into the air.”

When the environmentalist wackos don’t exhale a single molecule of CO2, that’s the day I’m longing to see.
