This includes several small to mid-sized turbines. It would be enough should we decide to pool together and start a real Atlantis.

    I had forgotten about Shoreham. It's pretty much the same situation just north of NYC.

    NY is governed by arseholes. They paid big money for GE to build Shoreham nuclear power plant and then even greater money to tear it down in 1989 out of fear that there wasn't a viable escape strategy to get off of Long Island. Today people die from lack of heat and air conditioning because there is not enough electricity to go around. Morons.

    In particular, the Indian River power plant is being shut down because of an unreasonable fear of a nuclear meltdown like what happened in Chernobyl.

    This power plant is being shut down solely because compliance with Obama's new environmental edicts makes it uneconomical to continue operation.
