I would appreciate if you could give a few links. it would be a pleasent surprise if coal has turned out to be the cleanest fuel for power gen.

but i guest there is a catch in this to!

maybe that is a theory stil, if it’s true then the world’s power gen problems would be solved.

but i guess it would be the most expensive one.!

"dear AH kindly note that coal is the worst polluter as far as power generation fuwl is concerned."

Correction: not necessarily. Although conventional coal-powered are terrible polluters, recent technology has come up with clean coal burning techniques (I specifically used the word "clean" in my post). Do a quick Googling and you’ll find lots of links, and I mean legitimate links. Meanwhile let me see if I can post them up here right now.

The wise thing to do would be to adopt lifestyle changes, take queue from construction methods that were prevalent a century or so ago, that had better temperature regulation techniques than the ones we are using now, but unfortunately, currently our society is no where close to even discussing these issues, let alone work for change.

we could have easily installed a thermal plant of 1300 MW for that amount and the nuclear power plant has to be closed down for maintenance about every 2 years for almost 04 months. nuclear waste is another issue.

to top it all we have started antother 300 MW chashnup-2.

for a total of 600 MW of power plant costing more then 2.6 billion USD we could have installed almost 3000 MW of conventional power plant!

it just does not make sense.

just to clarify a misconseption that nuclear power is a safe and uninterrupted form of energy and would not be discountinued…etc a few years back there was a severe drougt in france and acute water shortage resulted in the closure of most of it nuclear power plants as there was no water to be used in the cooling of power plants.

france produces a majority of it’s power from nuclear plants. nuclear plants can not function without an reliable supply of water in sufficient qty’s. if there is no rainfall and the canals run dry then the nuclear plants are also shut!

indly note that coal is the worst polluter as far as power generation fuel is concerned.

it can’t be wind power as the news report indicated that the total dbudget is less then 3 Billion USD.

4000W of wind power may cost more then 8-10 billion USD easily.

it is many times costlier then other forms of power generation all our foreign exchange reserves would be neede just for this project if it is wind power.

Sorry, i meant to reply to ALI-EN!
