It’s ugly

We drove up from Virginia to enjoy the bright lights. The full moon rising behind the majestic conveyor belt paled by comparison… much prettier than the Milky Way.

The facility consists of two base loaded 624 MW coal-fired steam generating units, four 65 MW oil-fired peaking combustion units, and two 18 MW black start peaking turbines. The two coal-fired units are base-loaded supercritical steam units which went into operation in 1970 and 1971. The four peaking units are General Electric Frame 7 units which went into operation in 1973, while the two black start peaking units are General Electric Frame 5 units which went into operation in 1970 and 1971. Coal is delivered to the Morgantown generating station by CSX Transportation train using the Pope's Creek Subdivision rail line. Construction of a coal barge unloading pier on the Potomac River began in 2007.

Delicious power, my wonderful wife and I came here to check out new light fixtures for our bedroom. Recently I've struggled with impotency; we assumed that a new light fixture might be able to put me in the mood! We found the light fixture, and there have been no problems since. 10/10 would recommend!
