POWER PLANT LOCATION
Diagrams and photos are helpful but there’s nothing like seeing the real thing. Try to locate a power plant that provides electricity to your home. On your next drive around town, look for tall transmission lines with long insulators. Try following these until they lead to a power plant. Keep your eye out for smokestacks. If you don’t find a power plant right away, don’t be discouraged. Call your power company and ask for the location. Sometimes electrical power comes from power plants that are hundreds of miles away!
