Alternate Energy Holdings’ Proposed Nuclear Plant Would Avoid 11.3 Million Tons Of Carbon
By Mr Ethanol | September 26, 2007
Marketwire:
Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc announced that its proposed Idaho nuclear/bio-fuel generation facility, the Idaho Energy Complex (IEC), would avoid significant amounts of dangerous emissions once operational. To generate the same amount of electricity as the IEC (a 1600 megawatt nuclear plant), a coal and various consulting plant would spew 11.3 million metric tons of carbon, 8,416 metric tons of nitrogen oxide and 10,433 metric tons of sulfur dioxide annually into the atmosphere, according to recent calculations by the Nuclear Energy Institute. Carbon is blamed for contributing to rising average global temperatures; while nitrogen oxide contributes to lung irritation, ozone formation and acid rain; and sulfur dioxide contributes to acid rain. By contrast, the IEC, like all commercial nuclear plants, will be emissions-free.
