Tom,

You did a nice job on presenting my views of "Conservative" South Carolina energy policy. One more point few people in SC are aware, over 50% of our (SC) electricity is generated by nuclear power. The reasonable rates we enjoy is because of reliable but old nuclear units that have been paid for decades ago. However, replacement will be costly as the folks in Georgia found out with Vogtle 3 & 4.

Hi Thomas, excellent Ss pertaining to energy. Curious to know your professional observations regarding dry steam turbine conversions away from conventional fuels. Including your aforementioned sources in this essay. Considering advancement in deep earth drilling at depths consistent with the required temperature extremely necessary to provide geothermal dry steam powered turbines.

Regards,

ORION

Sorry, but I'm not technically proficient enough in that area to give you a valid opinion, Orion.
