[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 249279, member: 1305"] Like pluckem said the systems are stand alone gas turbines that are air cooled. Some of the bigger units have an add on that takes the hot exhaust fumes to boil water to generate Steam after the initial generator is through with it but these systems are generally a closed system only taking in as much water as it loses in Steam so putting out basically nothing. The old once through system that older plants use is all but fazed out now. The loss of heskit sucks but it's the eventual lose of minkota up at center that would truly suck with the nelsonlake losing it source of heat. [/QUOTE]
