Yeah, a lot of them just don't make any economic sense. You can run a good plant reducing the costs of energy drastically while taking advantage of economics of scale OR you can all run heating oil and diesel along with wood fired stoves that pump a bunch of particulates into the atmosphere.
Short answer is no, the Healy Clean Coal Plant (HCCP) will not really do anything to our rates. The reason being, is that another $100+ million has to be spent to get it operation per the tree huggers' demands. So the EPA and the Sierra Club would rather us burn diesel in our diesel generators to provide the the FNSB with power instead of burning coal with relatively modern environmental controls. I know, it makes a great deal of sense.
Our north pole plant is literally a mile from the refinery. They still charge us a delivery fee for diesel to run the generators...
Anyway, regarding the spray in liners, I think I paid $530 for mine in Fairbanks. Not too bad of a deal given who did my install. Warrantied for life as long as I own the vehicle. Same with the autostart that I had put in. I bought a used car with an autostart, and the shop still warrantied the unit even though I wasn't the original owner. Service is definitely top notch, and worth the $530.

For those of you with *****, I just found one of the most perfect and scenic offroad trails here near Homer. It is the high clearance 4WD trail that goes down to the Russian Village of Kachemak Selo off of East End Rd. It is a serious of treacherous switchbacks along the side of a cliff that goes down to the beach. Having a short wheelbase is important although long wheelbase trucks like mine can squeeze through if you are gutsy enough.
