GE utility grade power generating gas turbine sets are all the rage which shows you which direction the country is actually going in right now for power generation. Quick hint it ain't renewables. To be fair the gas turbine machinery is seen as the best coupling for solar and wind in order to smooth out the availability holes in the renewables.

Renewables by themselves can never match the demand simply because they are inconsistent.

gas? you mean steam right?

No....gas turbines.... Ge makes some great steam turbines too. If used properly a gas turbine can be routed into an HRSG and then produce steam to drive a steam turbine also which would bring the efficiency of the whole set up into the 60's.

ah, you mean gas as in NG, not gasoline, gotcha
when I first read it I was like what?
yes, my local mill uses NG for theirs but they also run steam for their machinery

Good combination

keeps my brother busy, he's the top certified welder/steamfitter and he's always repairing something or needs to custom fab something

GE knows which way the wind blows.
