Intermountain Power was certainly built in a more optimistic time. While the majority of the plant is of course utilitarian and practical, the administrative building included a number of aesthetic features and architectural creativity that belie a time when corporatism actually included customer comforts. The foyer features a large bronze bas relief sculpture of the plant. The atrium just inside, stretching from front to rear, is a greenhouse garden featuring a collection of exotic plants outlined in a helpful guidebook. Turn to the left and you'll see the employee gym and a museum showcasing scale models of the plant's facilities; turn to the right, and display cases lining the walls exhibit safety and performance awards, employee pride, and the plant's leadership structure. In 1984 the economic and social future of the United States was bright and this building illustrates that.
When the plant switches from coal to natural gas and hydrogen this building will be demolished. I doubt the new administrative building will be as welcoming or as interesting. Corporations have stopped pretending to care about hope. The money spent on that bronze sculpture is better off in the pockets of some hedge fund manager in New York.

Another shot using the zoom - these were a good distance over a low hill from where I was standing, and again you can see the heat haze distorting the image. Despite being very sunny that day and pleasant enough, it didn't feel quite that hot due to the almost constant cooling wind coming from the coast (presumably one reason this location was chosen!) but the heat haze shows it was warmer than the cool breeze suggested.

All too often we tend to forget that our electricity is not such a "clean" energy.: Most of it comes from power plants just like this one, burning fossil fuel and releasing huge amount of CO2 in our atmosphere.

Ruskin Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Stave River in Ruskin, British Columbia, Canada.
The dam was completed in 1930 for the primary purpose of hydroelectric power generation. The dam created Hayward Lake, which supplies water to a 105 MW powerhouse and flooded the Stave's former lower canyon, which ended in a small waterfall approximately where the dam is today.
Ruskin Dam is part of the Alouette-Stave Falls-Ruskin Hydroelectric Complex. Upstream of the dam is the Stave Falls Dam and Powerhouse which has an installed capacity of 90 MW.
Supplementing Stave Lake is small amount of water from Alouette Lake which is created by the Alouette Dam in northern Maple Ridge via 3,501 ft long tunnel connecting intakes at the northern end of Alouette Lake and Stave Lake.
At the end of the tunnel is a penstock which feeds the 8 MW Alouette Powerhouse on the western shore of Stave Lake approximately 8 km north of Stave Dam. Water released from Stave Falls Dam flows into Hayward Lake and is used by the Ruskin Dam for power generation

During the late 1970's I was fortunate to visit the Kingston Power Station in Down Hall Road Kingston-Upon-Thames. This fine power station was due to be demolished and was closed in October 1980. It was opened in 1948 by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
The pictures show the interior, control desk, the coal conveyor, one of the chimneys and Kingston coat of arms on the lead rainwater down pipes. [A great deal of thought and care went into the construction of this fine building.] A rooftop view of Kingston with Bentalls store can be seen in the picture.
All no more and another cathedral to electric power gone for ever.
Last days of coal and oil-fired power generation before Didcot A Power Station closes. Gas-powered Didcot B continues, but does not use the cooling towers. No more steam!

Sempra Energy's El Dorado Combined Cycle Power Plant, producing 480 megawatts, mostly from natural gas, near El Dorado, southwest of Hoover Dam, and south of Las Vegas. That's about a quarter of the top capacity of Hoover Dam. Ten megawatts is from solar.
These 15 wind turbines(called Vestas NM82) provide a total of almost 25 MW of power and is part of the Luzon Island grid in the Philippines. Height of these windmills is 70 meters. Each of the three blades has a length of 41 meters. The wind swept area of the rotors is approximately 5,280 square meters.
Location of this turbines is at Pebble Beach, in the shores of Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte province. This turbines is the first power plant of its kind in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

Los Angeles Water & Power owns the majority shares of the IPP plant, and while they pretend that IPP is independent in the company's brochures and literature, LAWP's name and logo appear everywhere, including former Nevada Northern Railway 401. The factory paint has held up shockingly well over the locomotive's existence. They just don't make them like they used to!

A view of inside the Flinton powerhouse on the Skootamatta River looking west towards the river. Flinton (formerly named Flint's Mills) was founded by Billa Flint (1805-1894) to house his employees of his many enterprises. This mill provided enough power for the entire community.
Notice how the concrete walls were constructed- in layers approximately 8" wide with wood form boards. You can still see the wood grain in the layers of concrete. Construction date unknown but in the 1800s. Billa Flint was a Member of the Senate of Canada 1867-1894.

Dad and I recently went for another visit - on a brilliantly bright day - to Whitelee Wind Farm, the largest onshore wind farm in the British Isles (covering some 55 square kilometres of moorland just southwest of Glasgow).
There are some 215 of these enormous Siemens wind turbines, which stand some 65 metres tall (110 metres if you include the rotors at full height arc), and those enormous blades create a rotor diameter of 93 metres. Quite staggering to stand right underneath one as the blades turn in slow rhythm above your head, whooomp, whooomp, whooomp...
Very impressive bits of kit when you get right up close, and as the moorland just south of Glasgow (near Eaglesham village, where, famously, Rudolph Hess bailed out on his bizarre mission during the Second World War) has had some 90km of looping paths and tracks for walkers (and their dogs!), cyclists and horse riders to enjoy - the turbines go right out of site, covering such a large area. Glasgow Science Centre runs an annexe here, providing the visitor centre, especially good for letting younger visitors fiddle with things to learn what's going on.
