Opinions mixed on power plan

In the very spot where treated recycled wastewater would be used to run a power plant, residents and city leaders gathered to voice their opinions whether the state should give a thumbs up to the new facility.

Nuclear is a better answer than this.

I just hope we can sell some of this power to Marin. After the power plant gets built and is operational, we need to build another State prison next to it. This will help handle the overcrowding at the "medical correctional facility" or as I affectionately call it "psycho-slam".

Folks, get over it. Solano County has been delegated a "cesspool county" for the Bay Area. You are not going to see these projects being proposed in Napa or Marin Counties because the lawyers and accountants that live there would not stand for it.

Go nuclear. Enough of this false PC and get real.

You know how it is with this stuff, the NIMBY's come out on these things.

While I agree with the nuclear tact, I suggest that Augustine consider building it in his backyard. I would bet he wouldn't be as supportive then.

Funny, but it always comes down to money for the city officials, jobs for the unions, and peace and quiet for those who have to live with it. You move to the country so you don't have to put up with idiots and they follow you out there with their idiot projects.

I say bring Rancho Seco on line and quit playing games in other people's back yards...

Nuclear would be much quieter/lesser emissions (no emissions I believe?) alternative. But I'm sure the NIMBY's would be much more worried about that. Some of the outrageous spouting off and fear mongering last night was INCREDIBLE.(The plant is going to POISON everything around it with methane etc.) OMG... the crazies are out in force for this one. It will be interesting to continue to go to the meetings and watch it unfold.

How about a bunch of mules running in a circle.....

[El Exilio]

I will add mine to the emerging "vox populus" and go with nuclear. To hell with Jane Fonda.

I also like coal.

Put Yep and Festus on the coal shoveling...pick, and shovel, for these ninnies...:-p
