EnergyBiz - January/February 2008 - (Page 6) » LetteRs assure reliable – and ultimately lowercarbon power – for our economy. Leslie Glustrom Boulder, Colo. We need a coordinated vision for distributed generation. The threat of terrorist attack must be considered. The power supplies to essential loads like hospitals must be maintained. Granted economics must be considered but it would be nice to know where the weaknesses are greatest and how these weaknesses could be corrected. Holman G. Beck Senior Engineer – Siemens Power Generation Orlando, Fla. i’m very happy To see a resurgence of interest in nuclear energy and enjoyed the interview with Christine Todd Whitman, “The Need for Nuclear” [November/December]. Fission-based nuclear reactors are our only viable option for the near term energy needs. We must recycle spent fuel rods. W.

By no means do I view this as an individual award, but one that reflects a great deal of collaboration and teamwork throughout Cobb Energy. The accomplishments and obstacles we overcame the past few years were amazing. Bob Arnett Vice President - Technology Systems Cobb Energy marietta, Ga.

Keith E. Bowers Bellaire, Texas cO r r Ec Ti O n s “Leaders with Vision” [November/ December] incorrectly reported that Cobb Energy is the parent of Cobb EMC. Cobb Energy is an affiliate of Cobb EMC. “LNG’s Bright Prospects” [November/ December] incorrectly reported that Sempra LNG would be opening two terminals in Texas and Louisiana in 2008. Sempra LNG’s West Coast project, Energia Costa Azul, will be completed in the first quarter of 2008, while Cameron LNG construction is slated for completion in Louisiana in late 2008. Sempra LNG’s Texas project, Port Arthur LNG, is permitted but the construction start date is not set.

No surprise there. In some cases transmission lines have a place, most likely underground, but as the sole component in a national energy plan they are more of a problem than a solution. Lynn Phillips New york, N.y. Thanks for covering the need for a national transmission grid analogous to our national highway system. This is perhaps the single most important thing we need to do to To contribute to the Letters column, please e-mail your submission to energybiz.editor@energycentral.com.
