Message: <blockquote data-quote="deleted user" data-source="post: 297620" data-attributes="member: 1778"><p>The reason coal creek station became unprofitable was a result of their CEO’s vision. A few years back he decided to play politics and claimed that wind is the new baseload. They began operating coal creek as a peaking unit, which was horribly inefficient. Baseload plants are meant to be run wide open, and consume a huge amount of fuel when cycling up and down. They also get a less complete combustion, which means more pollutants heading towards the stack must be scrubbed to meet environmental standards ($$$). Cycling up and down constantly to accommodate wind is not what it was made for. Operating this way was a self-fulfilling prophecy that wind has outperformed coal. </p><p></p><p>Coal creek station, if ran they way it was designed to, would do nothing but make money.</p></blockquote><p></p>
