Location:  Wekiwa Springs

 

She pulled out a slim composition notebook the minute I picked her up from the airport. We headed west on the 528 toward I-4. She flipped to her list.

She said, “You’re not going to like it. There’s not a lot of pros. Actually it’s mostly cons.â€

I told her to read it anyway. Cons first.

“It’s an angry place. I read on some news website last night that Orlando is the angriest city in the nation. Did you know that?â€

    Hi,
    The Power plant is NOT Nuclear. The Sanford plant is currently Oil Fired, and is in the process of being transitioned to Natural Gas fired Turbine.

    None of the power plants in the Greater Orlando area (And for that matter in the Interior Peninsula part of the state are Nuclear. All of Florida’s Nuclear plants are required to be on the coastline to provide a source of salt water for a final last resort cool-down method. (Like in Japan, not the best, but that is also why it is last resort.)

    Sincerely,
    Mark
