READER IDENTIFIES MYSTERY BIRD
AS A YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER
The woodpecker Margo Oxendine
heard and described in her August column
was a yellow-bellied sapsucker.
She described it as making an odd
sound, like a kitten mewing. Yellowbellied
sapsuckers do indeed make sounds
just like a cat!

WHAT ARE THE COSTS, FOOTPRINTS
OF CARBON-BASED, GREEN/
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES?
It would be great if Virginia electric
cooperatives would publish in Cooperative
Living a thorough analysis and discussion
of carbon-based vs. green/renewable
energy sources for electric-power
generation.
For example, what is the " footprint "
of, say, a 100-megawatt coal- or natural
gas-powered power plant vs. the
" footprint (size) " of solar and windmill
farms to generate 100 megawatts?
What is the " design " lifetime of
coal/natural gas plants vs. solar and
windmill farms? And what types of backup
power sources are necessary
for solar and windmill farms to provide
the same reliability and availability of
carbon-powered plants?
Also, a lifetime cost/benefit analysis of
each type of power plant would be useful
to homeowners and voters, to enable them
to vote wisely on whether to support
carbon or green power based on the cost
to operate their homes for 10 or 20 years.
