Given our society’s tremendous (and growing) demand for electricity, combined with its political and market conditions, there is no doubt that coal and natural gas will remain the major fuel source for electricity generation long into the future (unless our consumption/conservation patterns change).
In her Blog, 7.2 million grant to pollution control firm, the Independent’s Pam Zubeck, overviews the recent success of a project between a Colorado Springs’ small business, the Neumann Systems Group (NSG), and the city’s municipal utility – Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU).
The technological and business potential of NSG’s innovation in removing polluting compounds form hydrocarbon combustion gasses, practically supported by CSU, is no less then amazing. While recognizing that this is a serious scientific and industrial “work in progress,” the leadership of Colorado Springs should be trumpeting the success of this private (small business) and public partnership.
In addition to the environmental and economic upside mentioned in Zubec’s Blog, It is creating good, local jobs – check out NSG’s webstie.
Congratulations to CSU and NSG.
Thanks, to Pam Zubec and the Independent for this report.
PS. I’m certain that the emissions rising from the towers in the photo that accompanies Pam's Blog is water vapor not combustion gas. In other words, I think the photo is misleading, but her article is positive.
