It should have been built closer to St. Joe or South Haven to provide district heating as wasting the heat is an argument for keeping it shut. But, never would have happened with the Greenpeace scare tactics.
- nonethewiser 3y agoDistrict heating? Why can’t it do that where it currently is?
- downvotetruth 3y agoIt could be built now at cost, but large district heating systems in older (eastern) U.S. cities, such as New York ..., and Indianapolis, are mostly medium-pressure steam systems (150 psi to 400 psi), and extraction and long-distance transport of steam with those parameters is not economical.
