boy can a dam give though....

If it does many people will be in a lot of dam trouble.

The boys just pee in the dam river.

I wonder if they ran power into the generators from the grid if they could pump enough water to reverse the flow of the river?

There is a plant in PA (Muddy Run?) that does this on the Susquehanna.

I've seen it from I-75 before, but never bothered to check out what it was...

What exit is that? Is that the Caloosahatchee river? I've seen that power plant from the water before when I was jetskiing with my friend. He has a house on the Caloosahatchee.

Look at Hoover Dam, Niagara Falls, and a few of the other dams linked to in this thread... It should be dam obvious what one of the conditions is to have a hydroelectric plant.

Wow.

That's awesome.

If whole area of the lake - at nominal level - would be covered by solar modules the power of the would be 135 000 MWp, which would produce 230 TWh a year. For the same yearly output as ITAIPU a solar PV-plant would cost US$ 132 billion.

Weird little factoid.. lol
