[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Overmod Junc: The sale of railroad-generated power is clearly possible under the provisions of PURPA -- I have no idea why the precedent mentioned by piouslion would apply to the situation you mentioned. Of course, the rail-generated power would have to be 'sold' to electric utilities (the situation is a bit more complex under deregulation, but not effectively different) but most railroads would have little desire to become regulated utilities anyway. Unless things have radically changed, the price which utilities pay for qualified NUG power is substantially above baseline 'market' rate, intentionally set up to make investment in alternative power and cogen more attractive. [/quote]A point well made sir, in the case you mentioned on the sale of NUG power the cost would be higher than that of base load costs and price of a major utility's generating capasity. The precedent I used was only to point out the starting point of the community of interests that would be line up against such a program. I in no way wi***o demini***he clear thought that was exspoused in the thread. In truth I think it is a great idea that Junctionfan makes for a good position. Thanks for expanding the thread - Roy
