The Niagara Falls Story
This week in class we had conversations about Niagara Falls and IF they actually "turn them off" at night to create hydropower at nearby US and Canadian generation plants. So I went traveling across cyber space to see what I could find. Not as good as actually being there, but for now.... let's see what you can find too. Right now I submit http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/21/tech/main1916244.shtml
a news story from 2006 about drilling a new tunnel to create more power, and diverting more water, though they say it won't be noticeable, I have a hard time believing that 50 - 75% diversion isn't. What do you think? And should they be creating more hydropower, an alternative energy source, by diverting falls water?
