What are captive power plants ?
94472
A Captive Power Plant (CPP) supplies some or all of the electric power need by an industrial plant to avoid loss during blackouts and to provide a better price structure for electrical needs than a SEB (State Electric Board) grid.  Steel and cement makers are apt to rely on CPP's.

Many Power Companies do allow this, and they pay you for the electricity you generate.  It's sometimes called "co-generation".  You have to get the hardware set up so that the power you generate goes back onto the grid safely.\n\nAhhhh, to live free and off the grid.

Nothing is free.  Converting the entire energy grid to alternative fuel sources would be expensive and in some cases would require that enormous batteries be constructed to store power and distribute it during times when the alterate resource is not available (i.e when the sun stops shining on a solar power field).  We've also become accustomed to consuming a great deal of electricity and the ammount of solar, wind and other plants needed would be enormous (I'm not saying it's not well worth the effort, but studies show it won't be as quick or clean as some would lead you to believe).

an power plant will consume more input than it will produce in output.  even fusion power plants will not be 100% efficient due to transmission loss and transfer loss.

I suggest you contact Stewart and Stevenson in Houston, Tx. They assemble a wide range of electrical generating systems.

Samatha is right.  The power demand of the large hotel or resort in the same as a whole residential neighborhood.  To fill this demand means a sub-station dedicated to it.

Most hydroelectricity is made in dams.  When the water flows through the dam, it spins a turbine (picture a long cylinder).  The turbine has a set of magnets on it, and there is another set of magnets surrounding the turbine.  As the turbine spins, the changing positions of the magnets generate electricity.\n\nIf you're talking about a physical model, I can try to explain it to you, but it's kind of hard without pictures.\nHave a box shape as the dam, tall and wide, but skinny from front to back.  About 1/2 of the way up, there's a hole through the dam, to let the water through.  The turbine is a long cylinder with "fins" on one side so that the water can spin it.  The other side (which is separated in order to keep the wires dry) has the magnets on it - three of them evenly spaced around the circumference.  There is another ring around the turbine with another set of three magnets - they should be attached to the dam, not the turbine.  Those magnets will have wires attached, and the wires lead to a power station where the electricity produced is put into a form that we can use.  Look up the Bonneville Dam on an internet search engine - they'll probably have pictures.

I assume you mean green vegetation, not power plants.\n\nConnecticut State Flower:  Mountain Laurel Kalmia Latifolia\n\nLink below has lots of CT plant info:

If you mean the giant towers that have come to symbolise Nuclear plants then those are cooling towers and actually disperse the extra heat from the superheated water into the atmosphere. These towers are also found in huge thermal power plants which burn coal or oil to make electricity.

hydropower comes from water, typically through a river that has been dammed to harness the power of the water.
