JG3 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 There's lots of discussion about new power plants lately. There are several power plants of different types near here, so I went for a look. https://flighttoviewpowerstations.blogspot.com/2019/07/blog-post.html 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 just a note. I notice the New plants are only a third of the output of the first smokey power plant !. " max power 1400 mW, with lots of smoke." & " On the right is the Tarong North power plant, 443 mW, on line 2003. With a much cleaner exhaust due to the more modern supercritical design", spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 A picture is worth a thousand words. Even the newer coal fired plants are highly polluting as well as a blight on the landscape. Solar supplemented by gas is a good interim solution until we can transition to 100% renewables. Coal seam gas has its problems and even though they have tidied up their act the fracking process still carries a pretty high risk of ground water contamination.
