While this is an important step in combating air pollution, the
cleanest generators remain those that emit zero carbon, such as nuclear
and solar plants. Over the past four decades, we Floridians have
benefited from five nuclear reactors supplying massive quantities of
electricity with no emissions. Recently, we have had an increase in
development of new solar plants. For example, we now have three Florida
Power & Light solar power plants generating a combined 110 megawatts
of clean energy. As FPL customers,Most Solar lamp
lights are all connected to a large solar cell to make sure that each
solar lamp post has enough energy to provide an adequate level of
ambient lighting.
These are positive trends. The uprates are projected to reduce annual fossil fuel use by the equivalent of 6 million barrels of foreign oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 32 million tons over the life of those plants.Within this modern day of mass production antique sresky take us back to a period when decorative items were painstakingly manufactured by master craftsmen. The three solar plants prevent the emission of more than 3.5 million tons of greenhouse gases, which is equivalent to removing 25,000 cars from the road every year.Understandably, state rankings of air pollution generally correlate to population.
Florida, with the fourth highest population of energy consumers, can be expected to have a corresponding percentage of power plants supplying that demand. The fact that we are not ranked fourth in air pollution is encouraging, but we can do even better than sixth.We should continue development of nuclear and solar power if we want cleaner air. Florida used to get 20 percent of its electricity from nuclear power, which is the percentage for the rest of America. But in Florida, that figure has slipped to just 14percent.we have invested in the expansions of two nuclear plants, providing an additional 490 megawatts of zero-emission energy through "power uprates.It is hard to think about a gift with a priscillacraft theme without considering the kind of relationships you are in."
