San Francisco to Improve Environment by Polluting Northern California
 Engineers have strung a $500 million extension cord across San Francisco Bay, allowing San Francisco to draw electricity from clean, green, feel-good, renewable sources from someplace else. Renewable sources are mostly dams across nature's pristine rivers, blocking the swimming of fish, and navigation of canoes and rafts - wait until they figure that out! The City hopes to close its sole remaining power plant, the Potrero gas-and-diesel plant, which has long been considered a blot on the city's otherwise impeccable environmental record. Warning: The link takes you to the NY Times. Hat tip to the civil engineer's blog. Posted by: Bobby 2010-12-06 |
