Mary Kay Barton is a retired New York State-certified health educator and environmentalist in Silver Lake, Wyoming County. This post reproduces my letter-to-the-editor, “Wind energy ‘myths’ are spun by lobbyists, salesmen,” published by the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal (May 5, 2015).

A 450 MW gas fired combined cycle also can run at over 50% thermal efficiency (read: very efficient, your car is lucky to break 30%), cheap fuel, low emissions as methane has less carbon than most oil distillates.

Unless the shale revolution is a fraud (not likely) there should be no other generation method save nuclear.

Only downside is that there is no fuel stored at the plant, making the electric grid vulnerable to pipeline disruption.
