What a fuckin joke since ARNOLD took office>http://www.energy.ca.gov/sitingcases/all_projects.html

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

The recall election occurred in November, 2003. Schwarzennegger was sworn in on November 17, 2003.

I see that no power plants came online in 2004, the first full year of Arnold's reign. A look at the stats really bears some neat stuff out. Out of the generating capability that came online since 2001, only five were approved in 2003. Out of those five, only one generating station was expected to come online in 2004, whihc was expected in Dec. 04, but delayed until March, 2005. Out of all expected completion dates, it was also the only station expected to come online - and was approved prior to Schwarzennegger.

2003 saw 2 other projects approved that were supposed to be online in 06 and 05 that are on hold.

Of note, 6 projects approved in 2001 will not be built. 11 projects since 2005 are under review. 15 projects have been announced and 5 more are planned.

So, what I see is that 2001 was a big year for planning to build, 2003 was big for projects coming on line, but bad for planning new ones. There were also 1000 KW due for completion in 2003 (approved in 2001) that were never started, and 4 more projects approved in 2001 that were never started. 2005 was a good year for finishing projects.

2005 and 2006 appears to have been good years for future planning, though.

I see a slump in 2003 AND 2004 for starting projects.

Do you have a clue what 1000KW takes or supplies? Not much is the answer. People are gonna be crying next yr. The problem right now lies in the future energy sales (long term contracts). Everybody's paranoid because of ENRON type bullshit me thinks. I've been waiting for the Morro Bay job for yrs. Tom ain't gonna like that tho

On the average, maybe 750 homes like mine. Considering peak demand, quite a bit less. 100kW is only ~130x as much as my hot tub consumes when fully running.

That's about what one medium-sized wind turbine puts out, or about 1/1000 the output of a large natural gas or coal fired plant puts out.

In the UK and India (and I'm sure elsewhere) I thought 2,000MW was the standard for large power plants.

Standard for the ones here is 500-1000 MW fired by natural gas. Not sure about other countries. We just started building and rehabbing a bunch of coal fired one too tho. Thanks Bush/CheneyEdit to add: 1000mw good for a million homes(in SoCal) I believe at a cost of close to a billion for construction
