A guy I know works as security for duke power here in NC, they get all kinds of cool little toys and weapon systems, mp5's, nightvision, thermal imagery lol its off hwy16 I believe.

Friend of mine works for muscatine power and water. It's coal powered. Way to dirty of place for my taste. Coal is pounded into dust, then blown in. Although I'd love to see when they clean it out using explosives.

I would like to be the pyrotechnician that got to do it lol.

You use low sulfur Wyoming coal or are you using that Illinois east coast shit. I think 90% use coal from the Wyoming basin. Not as much of a btu yielded though. If you say its clean you obviously aren't on maintenance.

I have my eye on a bran new steam power plant well 2 that I know of that are being built both at hospitals one out side Austin and another one outside College Station there is a 3rd that is being retro fitted in Houston Med center but I want to get out of the big city. I've worked with boilers off and on since Feb 2000

Sounds like Duke is even larger then I thought. I just got done working for them, wind power instead of a power plant.
