Re: et cetera

Or that they find it surprising that this project will consume more energy
per unit time than it produces in useful form (?).

I think the quarrel is with the final statement: "The EPA says it's

coal-fired
generators, since it would consume energy faster than it produces it."
This last phrase can be said of any energy transformation device with
less
than 100% efficiency.

So your take on the item, Bob, is that it ridicules the EPA for not
understanding energy conservation?
