Judge it!
"“It costs more, but we did what it takes to design a plant that will control all the elements that would impact the environment and the neighborhood,” said Leung."
Huh? Go figure that.

i heard an older guy that worked the plant told arpa that the turbine was junk from the get go when first installed .
so they spent many millions around this turbine and just said he was a disgruntled ex-employee. was this put up for bid? who's pocket was lined? did it blow up the other day? |

bad john you are asking people who probably have no idea...we all would be guessing...why not just ask ARPA
|

would they admit to the turbine having bad problems before the construction was started around it?
#1 was the wierdsilla project(RATON) mishandled by henderson. #2.why was contractor paid without the unit being on line and tested ? #3.has that unit ever ran the way it was designed to? #1-yes #2-????????? #3,no it does not run and may never run-contractor did not even finish all connections |

The older turbine is as you'd expect something built in 1971. Good steel and like the cars of that era built to last. You were informed incorrectly. |

heard that it blew blades trrough a steel wall a while back.
1971-2009= 28 years i was told at one time the life of a turbine is less than 20 years expectancy. Raton's plant worked in excess of that due to the efforts of the plant managers in keeping all maintanence their #1 priority. it was good from the get go. Raton should have had plans to build new unit the day that unit went on line. |

Daily Horoscope for December 22
Sagittarius
Be careful about what you eat and drink today, my prancing Archer. Your body is in a sensitive state, so be well advised and steer clear of anything that might upset you, or to which you're sometimes allergic. Avoid anyone who's a one-man germ factory, in case a few bugs happen to jump out and over to you. Right now, you could do without it.
