Summary

[edit]
Description

Big blue dust covers on top of huge generators. One unit can nearly power a city of 500,000 people. Many remain idle till times of peak power demand, such as early winter mornings when folks push up the heat.

If these generators were to be running 24 / 7, there would not be enough water in the river to fuel them. With generators turned off, the reservoir can get replenished behind dam.

To take this tour, one must now pass through a metal detector. Homeland Security. That dam is pretty important in the Northwest economy.

Still our tour guide / tour guard had a nice grandmotherly voice. See my short Youtube video.
