Add This To Your Birthday Wish List: NG Fired Microturbines

Smaller than a refrigerator, more powerful than a locomotive.  Okay, okay, so I'm getting a bit carried away.

Microturbines

Microturbines are scaled down versions of industrial gas turbines. As their name suggests, these generating units are very small, and typically have a relatively small electric output. These types of distributed generation systems have the capacity to produce from 25 to 500 kilowatts (kW) of electricity, and are best suited for residential or small scale commercial units.

Advantages to microturbines include a very compact size (about the same size as a refrigerator), a small number of moving parts, light-weight, low-cost, and increased efficiency. Using new waste heat recovery techniques, microturbines can achieve energy efficiencies of up to 80 percent.

BTW, can we remove the (CNG) part of this category to simply read "Energy (NG) Technology?"

 

Yee-haw!!!!

A 17 KW will run a house that is approx. 2642 sq. ft. They are less than nine thousand. They say Generac is a good one, but the important thing is having a well-trained plumber and electrician and a responsble company.

Rule #1 in the generator business: If it says "Generac", run for your life.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
