Lake Powell - 1996

The chimneys in the background belong to the "Navajo Generating Station" (Salt River Project-Navajo Generating Station). It was a 2.25-gigawatt, coal-fired power plant located on the Navajo Nation, near Page, Arizona. On November 18, 2019, the plant ceased commercial generation. Full decommissioning of the site is projected to take approximately three years. On December 18, 2020, the three remaining smokestacks were demolished. Now, 35 years later, the water level is much deeper!

You can see 6 chimneys here, which is very strange, because there were only three since the plant was built. 1996 must be the year, when 3 new chimneys has been built and the old ones must have been demolished soon after this photo was taken. They were 236 m tall.

You can find a very intersting (but sad) story here about the power plants and queezing out the life of Colorado river: medium.com/matter/end-of-the-miracle-machines-690a5f00df1d
