  • Geez...is that little power plan generating all this steam?
  • No, only the central stack is releasing steam, extending about 900 feet to the northeast. The rest of the fluffy white stuff is clouds.
  • A horrific visual blight in a spectacular and beautiful location. Whoever approved this travesty should have been executed!
  • The storage tanks, built in the 1970's and no longer needed since the plant is natural gas fed now, are finally being torn down as of August 2011.
  • hopefully the whole plant will be torn down at some point, to restore the magnificent scenery of this place...
