Today’s batch of burning questions, my smart-aleck answers and the real deal:
Question: With the Duke Energy plant at Lake Julian, they switched over to natural gas, which is a good thing, but now they are dependent on a pipeline to bring that gas in. In the old days they probably had 30 days’ worth of coal stockpiled on site there. What kind of surplus of natural gas, if any, do they keep on site at Lake Julian now? Do they have tanks on site? How long would they last? If not, what happens if that pipeline goes down like the Colonial Pipeline just did?
Today’s batch of burning questions, my smart-aleck answers and the real deal:
Question: Since the Duke Energy power plant at Lake Julian stopped using coal, the huge scrubber smoke stack has been removed. Are there any plans to remove any other buildings on site that were used during its coal burning days?
My answer: Well, I don t really see any need for the coal-fired brewpub operation out there. I mean, that was a nice Asheville touch, turning lake water into craft beer, but natural gas would probably be a lot cleaner way to make the high-end suds.
Real answer: Duke Energy spokesman Bill Norton had the answers on this one, saying they ve made great progress on the demolition of the retired coal-fired plant, which started about a year ago.
