We like the Encina Power Station Smoke stack. But NRG‘s new plans for the location do not require water-cooling or a 400 foot tall stack. But they do require approval from the City of Carlsbad. So what should the City of Carlsbad do about these new plans? According to a Barbara Henry story in the North County Times, they’ve decided to spend money on consultants.
. . . the City Council agreed to spend $200,000 on outside consultants to investigate a new Encina power plant proposal that’s been submitted to the state Energy Commission.
Here is some free consultation: we for one are not interested in any NRG plans that call for 100 foot tall smoke stacks. Seriously, who is that going to impress?
