Montana-Dakota Utilities says it plans to install more electricity generation to its power plant in Sidney, Montana, to keep up with growing customer demands.
The 19-megawatt addition would be powered by natural gas and located within the company’s Lewis and Clark coal plant.
It would be used to provide power to customers during times of peak demand and could reach full power within 10 minutes.
MDU spokesman Mark Hanson says construction costs are estimated at $40 million.40,000,000 / 19 MW = $2.1 million / MW -- natural gas plant. Seems expensive. Maybe I'm missing something.

Samsung: Fifth Consecutive Quarter Decline
Macrumors is reporting:
On the heels of an earnings call that saw Apple announcing record earnings, rival phone maker Samsung today announced its own results for the October to December period, reporting a 27 percent quarterly decline in earnings.
Samsung saw net profit of 5.3 trillion won ($4.9 billion), compared to 7.3 trillion won last year, marking its first annual earnings decline in three years and its fifth consecutive quarter of decline. Apple, meanwhile, announced record earnings of $18 billion, largely due to the success of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

WEBS
Wednesday Evening Bible Study "fraternity" at Augustana College, my undergraduate alma mater (the college, not the fraternity), was the only "fraternity" not to have a sister "sorority" attached. (At Augustana there were no fraternities or sororities; in their place were "societies.")
The WEBS were the "Oakland Raiders" of Augustana College, all jocks, mostly football players, with sports scholarships.
I don't recall that this particular society accomplished much Bible study, but if I remember correctly, the drinking age for "3.2 beer" was 18 years of age. Just saying.
