Dave,
I have worked in the power plant industry for many years and have become very familiar with the process. I believe that the Carlsbad project should be looked at relative to the alternatives and in practicle terms. I agree that some micro organisms will get killed. I also would suggest that the number of the little guys that killed compared to what the 50 year old power plant at that location is miniscule. If you take any boat rides that has an engine you should note that the same kind of little guys are getting killed by your boat's engine water cooling intake. I personnaly believe that killing a few of those little guys is no big deal.
That last statement is probably going to stir up someone....
Rick
