patron...the question in my mind is "are we really short on energy"???? my background is in energy, from exploration, drilling, production to generation.....much of the experience has been international..... what concerns me is that when the global economy was at its peak, including the pacific rim, there were no shortages, be they real or perceived..... many domestic utilities are using natural gas for a portion of their generating capacity, primarily in gas turbines....but the real answer for old fashioned steam powered turbines is in coal fired boilers....the large mw facilities are usually coal fired....relax the epa regs a bit, and it becomes very economical to expand coal use (most boilers are coal/oil/gas fired capable).....many old line utilities are selling generation and becoming marketers...while the likes of mirant(southern co.), progress(the old cp+l) and duke are buying the plants up....look at all of the decommisioned nukes that amergen (british/peco/excelon consortium) are buying for pennies.... we have the generating capacity, lets use it....we can build refineries, but epa must loosen the regs a bit....and even a minor loosening will not harm the environment.... the government, be it in the form of the act of congress created fed, or one of the regulating agencies have yet to get it correct when it comes to business and the lives of those who depend on being employed! good luck ed a.
