If you move the US cross the pond and keep the same latitude, this is where the US would be. It can give an idea why the Southern States tend to run a little warm.
Come work with us. My crews work in areas with no air movement that the temps can hit 48 in the afternoons. We have plenty of insulation around our steam lines but when the steam flowing thru the lines is 538C, the insulation doesn't hold all the heat in.
We hope and pray that there is no trouble at this time of year, it can get a little hard on the body.
At this time of year, my control room's 20 to 22C can be a pretty popular place.
Yes sir.So, you work at a power generation plant?
Yes sir.
We generate 500 megawatts at 141,000 volts. Looking at adding another 1000 MW at 240,000 volts. It's possible the extra 1000 will hit the line when I retire.
No wind or solar in our system.That's definitely not a small plant! How much of the 500MW supports/backs up solar or wind farms? I know the general public is not supposed to know about that.![]()
