The Gavin Power Plant
These images were taken on a recent tour of the Gavin Power Plant in Cheshire Ohio with Matthew Friday's art and ecology class.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
General James M. Gavin Power Plant is a 2.6-Gigawatt coal-fired power station in Cheshire, Ohio, USA operated by American Electric Power. Named after James M. Gavin, it is the largest coal fired power facility in Ohio, and one of the largest in the nation. Its two units, rated at 1300 MWe each, were launched into service in 1974 and 1975.[1]
The plant is located at 
38°56′09″N 82°07′00″W
, just 2.5 km (1.6 mi) upstream along the Ohio River from a smaller, older coal-fired Kyger Creek Power Plant.
