      Always wanted to see inside that plant. (Wanted to work there as well) Was fascinated with it since I was a little kid. I know I’m one of very few sad to see it go. Just the history, the architecture, engineering that went into those old plants was so cool. I heard that plant had a bowling alley for the employees. Now it’s getting wiped off the face of the earth like it never existed. Wish they could have converted it to natural gas or something.

    I remember as a young kid living in Trenton in the 70’s when they were painting the red & white stripes one summer. It took a few weeks to see the progress with the new paint, but it was neat to see.

    • @buckbenelli8
      @buckbenelli8 10 місяців тому

      No, it’s called capitalism. It’s cheaper to build a methane pipeline and run turbines than to ship coal. Good riddance. A green new deal would be turbine free hydro power spinning and generating electricity without burning fossil fuels. All that hydro power flowing past the old McClouth plant and the coal plant without anyone even trying.
