...startup of the diesels means that the 6.4 megawatt MATEP can finally start achieving the energy efficiency for which it was designed. Approval of the diesels came earlier this month when a state agency ruled that while poisonous exhaust from MATEP's stack could give four people lung cancer over the 40-year operating life of the plant, that risk is not unreasonable...
...Byron plant, which was nearly completed and had cost $3.7 billion. Reason: the NRC said it had "no confidence" in the quality-control procedures for some of the construction. Three days later, Public Service Co. of Indiana announced that it was canceling all further work on its 2,260-megawatt (MW) Marble Hill plant, half completed at a cost of some $2.5 billion. The loss has put a severe strain on the company's finances. The utility said last week that it would eliminate 100 jobs over the next month. In addition, 573 of the utility's remaining...
...earn their living from farming have seen their isolation jarred by the incessant sound of explosions, jackhammers and heavy construction equipment. Located along the pipeline's route, Pomary is not far from where the line passes under the Volga River. One of 41 compressor stations whose huge 25-megawatt turbine compressors will move the gas is also near...
...hear it when he makes his first appearance onscreen, as a not-blind, unlame beggar; that's the time when the moviehouse erupts with cheers and whistles and rhythmic chants of "Eddie! Ed-die!" Nor is it when his mouth gapes into an innocent, megawatt smile; that is the occasion for a huge communal laugh.

In those quiet moments, 2,000 moviegoers turn into...
Even if the two plants were permanently closed, however, the consequences might not be the Armageddon suggested by some of the inflamed reactions after last week's ruling. The plants together can deliver some 1,800 megawatts of electricity-when they are operating. As it happens, the state-owned 965-megawatt Indian Point No. 3 plant has been out of action for more than a year because of leaks and corroding pipes. During that time, there has been no noticeable effect on the cost or delivery of electricity in the most populous U.S. metropolitan area...
