Today you get a lesson on Natural Gas power plants.
This is the Lake Side Power Plant in Vineyard, where there is no smoke the sometimes huge plume coming up from the plant is water vapor and nothing more. The plant is two and a half times cleaner than coal-fired plants and emits virtually no particulate matter into the air, or sulfur dioxide.
The plant produces upwards of 600 megawatts of power on the coldest days, and 540 megawatts on average, officials said. The machinery runs at 56 percent efficiency, almost double some older plants, and just 4 percent lower than the most efficient plant in the world.
The plant is owned by PacifiCorp and is part of a network that provides power to 1.6 million people in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington and California.

Hi my name is Adam and I am an Addict. I am addicted to sunsets. I start watching outside to the west about 3 pm wondering what it is going to look like tonight and where can I best capture it. Is there help out there for my kind? I know it wont last long once summer arrives and the clouds are gone I will be cured. At least for a couple of months that is. Until then I will enjoy what I can. Thanks for listening. My name is Adam and I am an addicted to sunsets.

Today is Valentines Day so I made a trip up to West Jordan and picked up some goodies for the kids. These are cupcakes from The Chocolate, I know I know this doesn't look like chocolate but my Sweetheart got some of their chocolate dipped strawberries (her favorite). Please check out all of today's pictures, the one at the bottom is my version of a picture I saw today on Flickr. I thought it was quite fitting for the day.

It was to cold outside today to take to many pictures so I took this from my truck out the window. The flags are showing how hard the wind was blowing. The outside temp according to my truck thermometer was 14°, I am not sure what the wind chill was but I know it was to cold to get out and take pictures. Burrrrrrrr.
