I keep thinking I should buy a cylinder of R-410a and throw it in the basement. I did that many years ago with R-22 and that served me well.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“What a fantastic start!”

Amen!

[technically right]

No, depending on the size of the plant, 150 employees or so should do it. There’s no coal and ash handling to deal.

Yep...that’s what I was gonna’ say. On the court two days, and he’s already making a difference. Huzzah!!

[IC Ken]

We have some smaller peak shavers locally I deal with and they do not even have 3 shifts. I doesn’t take many people to run a gas fired turbine.

"The Supreme Court declined to take up a lawsuit....."

How did each of the Supremes (minus Justice Kavanaugh) vote on this decision, anyone know?

Might be interesting.

Actually, nuclear energy works just fine, if it didn't take 20+ years to get approval on the project by .gov. Nuclear energy actually has the lowest kwh cost of any energy type.

"On average, in 2011, nuclear power had the lowest electricity production costs at 2.10 cents per kilowatt hour, and petroleum had the highest at 21.56 cents per kilowatt hour."

...“Coming only a day after the world’s leading climate scientists called for urgent action to curb dangerous carbon pollution,...

These morons should be forced to work in non-heated, non-air conditioned environs!

Starting today I will pray every day that Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg dies very soon.Not in a car accident or anything like that,I'll pray that she experiences a death far gentler than she deserves...that she dies peacefully in her sleep.

Like next week!

I'll believe they're serious when they all take a pledge never to fly again.

Hollywood eco-celebrities, Bono, IPCC, Gore, DiCaprio, you're grounded for life!

Sorry Ken
Nukes are higher capacity not peaking units.
Fuel could be re-enriched.
Maintenance is required on GTs and crews must be available to handle it.
Consider our subs; they have a thousand person crew??

[IC Ken]

They aren’t building nukes or coal power plants anymore. It is all natural gas fired. Low costs and not a lot of employees to run them.

[MAGAthon]

brilliant.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I’ll bet that there are a lot of crazy twitter posts about this, but K did not have any role in the decision.

[DoughtyOne]

Wouldn’t doubt it.

Hope there are.

[Crucial]

So they phased out r22 because it was a CFC. Now, everybody is switched over to 410a and they want to outlaw it. It’s ludicrous.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Sorry, I meant to say that K had no role in the SCOTUS decision not to hear the case. He did write an opinion on the case in the appeals court.

“The decision to pass on the case, announced during Kavanaugh’s first day as an associate justice”

FakeNewsMSM all report this story as if Kavanaugh was on the job at the time. however note what even Reuters has reported:

9 Oct: Daily Caller: Michael Bastasch: US Supreme Court Rejects Appeals Of Brett Kavanaugh Opinion Striking Down An Obama-Era Global Warming Rule
The justices privately made the decision to not rehear the case before Kavanaugh joined the high court Tuesday, Reuters reported...

However, the high court decided not to hear appeals to the HFC decision before Kavanaugh joined the court on Tuesday

[DoughtyOne]

I knew what you meant. I realized he did issue an opinion prior to this, hence the SCOTUS more or less rubber stamping his opinion.
