The pilot plant, funded by Consolidated Edison, Northeast Utilities, and Rockwell International, will process a side stream of stack gases from a 335 MW boiler at the Consolidated Edison Arthur Kill Station on Staten Island. It is planned to vary the SO2 concentration at the inlet to the scrubber in order to map process performance over a range of conditions. The side stream will correspond to approximately 10 MW equivalent of gas.

EPRI and individual utilities have cofunded several detailed site-specific economic studies based on the Shell coal gasification technology (13). Northeast Utilities analyzed repowering of an existing oil-fired boiler to produce a 600 MW IGCC plant (14). 

The Safety Board has long been concerned that all personnel involved in excavation activity be properly trained and qualified and has issued several recommendations in this area as a result of its accident investigations. Following the investigation of an accident in Derby, Connecticut, in December 1985, the Safety Board recommended that Northeast Utility Service Company...

Power plants to burn scrap tires involve large capital investments and annual operating expenses. However, plants located near large supplies of tires can be feasible. A key variable in determining economic feasibility for these plants is the buy-back rate granted by the utility. In areas of the country where the rate is high, such as California and the northeast, power plants are feasible. The buy-back rate is the rate the utilities pay for electricity generated from alternative fuel, and reflects the fuel and other costs avoided by the utility.

All this swirling around costs taxpayer money and does little to reduce the acid rain problem. The trees in the northeast portion of the United States and in Eastern Canada continue to die and more lakes are sterilized. The primary result of the activity of both governments is the support of the bureaucracies funding research and their staffs. The problem continues. Since 1978 the United States Department of Energy has invested 15 billion in fossil energy research. Of this 58% was spent on coal conversion utilization, 24% on electricity Production, 14% oil gas Production and 4% on environmental characterization control. 

To determine the occurrence of MTBE in source water on a broad scale, samples of ground water were collected from drinking-water supply wells throughout the conterminous USA, as well as Alaska and Hawaii. The wells sampled included domestic wells (hereafter referred to as private wells), which are privately owned wells and are used to supply water for household use, and public wells that supply water for a public water system. Data on MTBE in treated drinking water were available from a 12-state region in the northeast USA and represent samples collected by the water utilities for compliance with US federal drinking-water-quahty regulations.
