US green energy efforts hinge on aging nuclear plants Quartz 12/19/2020 © Provided by Quartz
About 25 miles south of Miami, there’s a nuclear power plant perched on a low-lying ridge tucked between the swamp and the sea. Its two reactor facilities, built in 1972 and 1973, don’t exactly blend in: The drab, concrete cylinders squat above the blue waves of Biscayne Bay and the muted green expanse of the Everglades both delicate ecosystems protected as national parks. Thousands of crocodiles patrol an adjoining labyrinth of manmade cooling canals.
Dubbed Turkey Point, the plant powers nearly a million south Florida homes and has been humming along for nearly half a century. If all goes according to plan for Florida Power & Light (FPL), the plant’s owner, it’ll keep running at least until the early 2050s, remaining unchanged while an expected two feet of sea level rise slowly transform the surrounding landscape.

Also wrote to Luther Lucking for the Cultivator Almanac (bound) for 1856 and Cultivator for one year. Lucy gave me a letter, I wrote to Byrd, to take to the boat and there we were in such a hurry I forgot to give it to her and will send it by the steamer Isabel. Wind freshened toward night
