The Lackawaana Energy Center, for example, a newly proposed natural gas plant in Pennsylvania (posted earlier) will be a 1,500 MW plant (posted earlier today). Compare with this wind farm proposed for southwestern North Dakota:
- final chapter of the Brady Wind farm saga
- ND PSC approved NextEra Energy Resources Brady Wind II
- northern Hettinger County
- 72 turbine
- 150-MW
- $250 million
- Brady Wind I: Stark County, 87 turbines
I suppose what bothers me the most is how much effort is wasted putting in these bird-killing machines, these small science projects that have absolutely no redeeming value.

Update On Davis Refinery Proposed For Belfield, ND, Area
At The Dickinson Press:
- a gazillion more steps in this process, but Billings County approved the rezoning of 715 acres of land from agricultural to industrial use
- 55,000 bopd refinery
- proposed by California-based Meridian Energy Group Inc
- $900 million -- almost $1 billion
- location: just outside the town of Fryburg; Fryburg is about 5 miles west of Belfield
- location: about three miles from the edge of Theodore Roosevelt National Park
I would assume tax receipts are affected immediately upon rezoning.
