- How much is 'primary' how much from actual new capacity? Keep in mind
- that you said that there was 'no increase in generating capacity'.
-
- Also can't pump that well forever. What now? 75% from 'efficiency'
- over a decade seems a bit steep to my skeptical engineering-trained
- mind.

- Not better than no power generation (of course we will have
