I attended a seminar on solar and wind power at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority, ACUA , clean energy plant On the way back I drove into the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant in Ocean County, NJ There are armed guards outside the nuclear plant There are watchtowers, presumably with armed sentries There are no armed guards at the clean energy facility There are wind turbines, photovoltaics, and operators. The operators are happy to talk, to show you how much power the plant is generating, and tell you how the plant works The various alternative technologies to generate that power offer choices about the society in which we live On the one hand: polluting fuel based technologies of the past - nuclear, coal, oil, natural gas. On the other: renewable and sustainable clean energy technologies of the future - solar, wind, geothermal, hydro |
