The numbers for LA are a lot lower than I would have expected unless Hoover is not considered "small scale hydro" on their web page.

Keystone Grand Hudson Pump Back Station Fort Gibson Tenkiller Webbers Falls ect. Title: Top 10 U.S. cities using renewable power sources Post by: Conan71 on July 05, 2007, 03:14:17 pm FAIK, the Oologah dam, which sits in the shadow of the gas/coal plant at Oologah has no power-generating capabilities. I've never understood why they wouldn't have had that capability when it was built. It's about the same vintage as Keystone, Ft. Gibson, and Hudson, I think.
