Hi, having it's own power plant is not so uncommon. The 70 megawatt
copper laser somewhere in Mass. runs off a 250 megawatt nuke plant.
the old 80 megawatt plant is for sale==If your Mil Spec and above qualified.
Gas turbines are quite often used for power plants up to 36 megawatts,
diesel easily handle 4.6 megawatts on single engine such as a 16 cylinder
Alco locomotive engine. Three  running together can produce
16.4 megawatts, so go fer it. John Freau lets have your formula in megawatts
to feet!!! cul brian f.
