Default AOPA tries to band house thermals!

I got a chuckle out of this one...

In the AOPA Pilot October issue, I learned that the AOPA is working
hard to stop the development of a 200-megawatts natural-gas-fired
power plant located near Bryon Municipal, CA. The concern at hand is
the introduction of "Thermal Plumes" nearby the airport.

I do not know whether or not there is a glider operation at Bryan
Municipal, but if it is the case, the SSA should counter the argument
and lobby to double the megawatts capacity of said plant!
