Q: When is a water treatment plant a tourist attraction?
A: When it’s also an 8.5 MW Clean Energy Power Plant!
Across the river from New York’s Solar Powered ferry terminal, at the entrance to Atlantic City, a few miles south of the Oyster Creek nuclear plant, (which will be discussed in future posts) the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) built a showcase for clean energy. Jersey Atlantic Wind, LLC, built an 8 MW wind farm and World Water and Power Corp., is building a 500 kw solar electric facility.
This is power without pollution - no greenhouse gases, no waste heat, no toxic wastes, no radioactive wastes, no mercury . . . . Pure clean energy. And it costs less than power from nuclear, coal, or other polluting 19th and 20th century technologies.
With solar and wind, there is no fuel, so there are no fuel costs, no fuel spills, no mines, mills, wells. There is less maintenance - solar has practically no maintenance. Unlike a nuclear power plant there is a minimal risk of terrorism and no risk of a catastrophic accident.
(In the interests of full disclosure, World Water is publicly traded and Clear Blue Lou owns a small amount of stock in the company.)
