Down the road from the Lock and Dam I worked at was a Hydroelectric Plant.

It was owned by Louisville Gas and Electric Company (Kentucky).
There were 8 Turbines (Units) in the building.
It was the only Hydro Plant in the area, all of the other Generating Stations
burnt Coal to run their Generators.

I was at work one day when a towboat locked through carrying a Hydro Unit
that was built in France that would be installed in Vanceburg, Kentucky.
It was a HUGE Unit, and that one unit probably would produce more electricty
than the eight units in the nearby Hydro Plant could.

Just thought I'd jump in and make a comment.
