Brown power for a greener world

Showalter Micropower Project would like to help remove a black mark on WV hills. What we would like to do for a mining company (any mining company in WV) is to produce 8 MW of power from natural gas and to sell that power for 1/2 price to the mining company. On peak of .04 per kw per hour. The kicker is we want to use the C02 from the natural gas gen-sets to fast grow trees to be replanted on the mined-out part of the strip. Trees would be free of charge to the minig company. (If they replant them) This project should produce trees at around 5000 per 18 months. Trees have been known to grow 130% faster in a high C02 greenhouse.- ( F.A.C.E. project info.) Any coal company want 1/2 price power and free trees? Over flow of power from the project will be sold to the grid. Only native WV trees will be used in the project. The control rooms, greenhouses, (lighting/computer control) will use off grid power by way of PV,and small wind to keep battery banks up. Natural gas gen-sets will power the mine and grid. This project has been in the works for 6 years. Coal companies E-mail showaltermicro@aol.com
