REGARDING:
” . . .have a 5-12 megawatt electricity generation capacity. …. 47.8 MWH of electricity.”

47.8 megawatt-hours per year divided by 365 days per year divided by 24 hours per day equals 5,457 watts of power. About what you would get out of a 5.5 kilowatt generator, if they make such.

So either they put out more than 47.8 megawatt-hours of energy or they don’t run all the time.

5 megawatts times 24 hours per day times 365 days per year equals 43,800 megawatt-hours per year of energy

12 megawatts times 24 hours per day times 365 days per year equals 105,120 megawatt-hours per year of energy

Something’s off, just don’t know what. Power generation is a good thing. The numbers just don’t add up as given.

How could this be any worse than H2S? I hope the commissioners work with them to bring this industry.

YELLAR, it seems the Santa Rosa COunty Commissioners are taking a page out of Escambia’s playbook and are trying to run them off…If you read the PNJ article, it sounds like they are doing everything in their power to demonize the company…and from what I have read the SRBOCC have nothing to back up their claims, at least not yet…This company has been cooperating with the commissioners demands…not sure why Goodwin sems to be on this witch hunt…

At least it is in Santa Rosa County If this plant was to want to set up in Escambia County the leaders would run it off for more low paying tourist jobs.

I have been visiting Jay for a number of years to see my fiance and have always said Jay would be a prime area for Biofuel experiments and production.

I have produced small scale biodiesel for a number of years and always try to buy it if I can. I purchased my truck just because it was compatible with biodiesel. 2006 chevy 2500HD. It now chases around the UK without any problems.

Jay need to step forward and be at the forefront of this technology, as they used to be a producer of crude oil, Now they should show they can produce Biofuels. I would jump at the chance to come and work there.
