Originally I felt I would keep the ship sailing but my research into power generation in New Jersey shows it have very few renewable resource power generation facilities (hydro,recovered methane, etcf). At a count of only 6, the state is in 40th place nationwide. The allure of those 25 MWt would be tempting.

One other thing, I never accepted that trained submarine crew would be in such short supply. I felt that it was a manipulated situation to allow the players on the sub. All Boomers had two full crews (Blue/Gold) one of which would be on land at all times. Those crews plus Naval reserves would have an initial number of qualified submariners in the thousands. Paring that down to 14 was stretching it for me even given communication and transportation breakdowns.



Since I pulled the query anyway here are the NJ power plants.

|Passaic|NJ|Great Falls Hydroelectric Project | 2363 kWT |
|Monmouth|NJ|Monmouth Landfill Gas to Energy Project - Land Fill Gas|7479 kWT|
|Ocean|NJ|Ocean County Landfill - Land Fill Gas|5184 kWT |
|Bergen NJ|Balefill - Land Fill Gas| 4825 kWT |
|Middlesex|NJ|O Brien Biogas IV LLC - Land Fill Gas| 10295 kWT |
|Salem|NJ|Pedricktown Cogeneration Plant - Wood Waste|2364 kWT|

Production numbers are annual average output for 1997, Maximum output would probably be highter.
