The governor wants it to be replaced with a renewable energy source. What that is will have to be worked out. - Krusty Oct 27, 10:36 6
- Renewables are basically at the point where they're cheaper per MW already. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 10:42 5
  - Yes if you have a place to put a giant solar array or wind farm. I don’t think you’d be able to do either in Astoria. - spamlet Oct 27, 10:48 3
    - Calgary is putting giant solar farms in the middle of the city. Different layout to be sure, but it's not undoable. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 11:21
    - What I'm understanding, and it's not much, is that they want the plant to be powered by renewable resources and not from natural gas as it is today. - Krusty Oct 27, 11:08
    - Tidal power! -- nm - znufrii Oct 27, 10:49
  - The infrastructure bill is supposed to have funds for research into using "green hydrogen" but that's years away. -- nm - Krusty Oct 27, 10:45

My read is that the NRG needs to determine that (I would guess they have a prelim Plan B?) -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 10:17
