When fully operational, the plant is expected to generate enough electrical power to meet the needs of 17,000 homes, giving the investors a return of 15% on their money, a profit that few utilities can match. Says Essex Chairman Jacek Makowski: "A hydro project can be viewed as an oil well with unlimited resources. Once you have the capital investment finished, you are good for 50 years, maybe longer...
...Hydro power is not about to free the U.S., or even New England, from its dependence on either nuclear power or imported oil. Less than 5% of the region's electrical power now comes from hydroelectric sites. The New England River Basins Commission has made an inventory of the 10,000 dam sites in the region's six states and concluded that only 320 of the dams are now economically feasible. If those were developed, water-energy production would rise to only about 7% of daily usage. But even that amount would mean that the U.S. could import...
...watch as the three girls bubble through Moscow, looking for love. On the second half of the film though, it is 20 years later and the movie focuses entirely on Katerina. Burned by her earlier affairs, abandoned with a child, she has ended up being one of those hydro-electric wonders--a career woman in charge of a huge plant, a mother and an occasional lover of some very occasional men. She is doing all this while still dealing with the utter cynicism of Moscow which talks about Leninism and wants, so badly, the same nice life as anyone else...
...submitted by Robert Jones, 43, a Los Angeles salesman of kitchen exhaust systems. He received $8,000 last year to help finance his idea for using the hot air coming off cooking ranges rather than simply pumping it out the exhaust fan. With the money, he built a prototype "hydro-coil" that gathers the heat in radiator-type fins and recycles it to heat other rooms in the house and the water system. Gas bills dropped 15% to 20% during testing, and Jones has interested a national restaurant chain in his device...
...resort" moves of gas rationing and wage and price controls. More recently, Kennedy "defined" his position on nuclear power, coming out in favor of a moratorium on new plant construction. To audiences across the state, he proudly displays his own energy plan, which stresses conservation, solar and low-head hydro power...
