Reply #21: Progress Energy coal plant in Florida in trouble similarly [View All]

They've applied for a permit to put in more cooling towers since the Gulf temperature is increasing and the
cooling water released can't raise temperatures beyond a certain level per the permit. GW is raising the temp above the
permit level irregardless of what the plant heat does.

Temperature at the Pensacola NOAA buoy site has been over 89 degrees this week, higher than all last year
Similar for the Tampa site near the plant.
