The coal plant I work at will be shutting down in the next 5 years most likely and is being replaced by solar.

Unless you're proposing to ramp up nuclear power production then you're not serious about reliable electricity.

I mean, I take it as he didn't see that I recanted after shooting off at the mouth without knowing anything.

Whoa! Way wrong.

- no hydro in texas

Well there's the dumbest thing I've seen all day.

The LCRA shut down all of their hydro plants? Plus how many CoE dams that produce power? They shut those down too?

You didn't read the rest of the thread did you.

Well the posted image from 2/1 at 1439. Shows hydro -0 - 0%

I would assume that hydro is always producing even at a minimal rate unless all the rivers/lakes dry up.

Look at Old Army Walton's post at 8:33pm. There is some hydro there. Don't look at the percentage. Look at the MW.
