He mentioned that an industry such as tilapia fish farming (currently being practiced in the Alamosa area) could use that heat instead of changing the temperature of the cold water river.

Could the extra heat from this power plant serve a similar purpose before discharging into the river? To whom this may concern,

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 00:28:11 +0000 http://www.poweringthewest.org/?p=289#comment-2163 Great program. I'm curious on something. I noticed the coating on the outside of the base of the pole, apparently to prevent corrosion. I also thought I saw a metal plate on the bottom of the pole for grounding. Is that the case? What is the size of the plate? Does it meet the requirement in NESC Rule 094 for a butt plate ground? Great program. I’m curious on something.
