Title: Niles Invests In Hydropower
Post by: jay on January 21, 2010, 08:42:24 AM
A story in today's newspaper indicates that the city of Niles is investing in a hydropower project in southern Ohio.

Question
What body of water is being used to generate this power?

It takes more than just a body of water to create power, it takes movement so I'm guessing the Ohio River.

It would be nice if someone would develop Lake Milton, or perhaps
Berlin Lake, as a Hydropower source...
