Let me know if I am sending too much on to you. Energy is limited to what the generator can put out. Sometimes during the summer when we had nearly 200 people on station the power plant would make an announcement on the PA telling people to turn off lights, etc because we were approaching max power use.
All garbage is flown out, based on the Antarctic Treaty.
It's really the only generator within a 300 mile radius. This is the only thing that's not flown out, it gets pumped into a well below the ice. I heard that Ohio State wants it, maybe to create a museum, but I'm not sure. The new station will be a raised structure, the same design as the laboratory where I work, although much bigger. I'll try and scan some images.
