Since the existing Palo Verde units are on 18-degree centers, could we max out the site by adding another 17 reactors? One problem: insufficient municipal poop to cool that many units, Palo Verde being the only site cooled in that manner.
But no problem - California seems to have a huge surplus of that estimable substance, so please send it our way.
The Central Valley here in CA also wants the nukes. And if you have ever driven down I5 you know we’ve got plenty of cowpies for cooling them plants.
