Were any cows harmed in the generation of this electrifying elevation and de-elevation of water levels? I don't see cows in any of the photos and I'm concerned about those sweet cows.
Pretty interesting post. I learned something new. I wonder how the fish feel too. Can you fish in there?
It was fun risking danger with you for some of those shots.
I doubt it. Cows are notoriously mooooooving. Pretty cheesy eh? Watch me milk this one, like a stampede. Relax, I'm bullshitting like post grazing.
Yes, you can fish. Ski, boat, stuff like that. Many'0 scale hath sacrifice thine self for much less.
Thank you.

Cheesy line without milking the cow and making cheese first. Maybe I was talking about beef cows and beefing up though.
If I got any more relaxed, I'd look like your skeleton trying to crawl into a window but the bones won't work.
How much does that lake drop and rise on average? The whole thing weirds me out for some reason. Think of the fishes. I guess I've gone green pusher here.
💖 Always a pleasure, never bored yet.
Yes!!
Fish, sure. Unfortunately not a lot of people are willing to heat their water by candlelight so fish lose.
Good question. So many variables. Summer months vs winter months. Land mass, height of fall, very nice. The lake size is similar to one I'm real familiar with outside Castaic, north of LA, called Lake Berryessa. Max production that one will rise and fall about 10 feet.
I got in and out quick to snap those switchyard ones, nothin....
Fish, fish, fish. Fish should never lose. I'm so craving fish. Why did I have to say fish? Forget fish unless I can eat some right now.
Wow, ten feet, that's a lot. I wouldn't want to hang too close to that lake at night.
In and out quick, isn't that your specialty? Frankly, really good shots of the switchyard...but you know I think that.
One more teensee question. What happens if the system there gets hacked?
Depends what I'm doing.
You're not the only person to mention poor fishy in this one, I'm impressed. I never would've expected defining the creation of energy would correlate to "poor lil fishy" by someone/anyone who read the article with an illuminated screen thanks to an energized phone battery. 🤷🏼
Before you know it they'll be censoring comedy.
There's so much protocol now for "terrorism" and system attacks. It's tough to say who/what/where has the fanciest hackers in the world but I've yet to learn of a hack toward US infrastructure. Not that it's impossible but hacks we typically hear about are on reserves like oil, airplanes, events, humans. Energy grids are probably one of if not the most protected asset in the states. But if.
Directing energy where it isn't supposed to go will destroy everything in its path. I don't think anyone could estimate the destruction but it's safe to assume not just one or two but every.skyscraper would collapse.
I'm thinking that I shouldn't ask for further clarification here. It seems like one of those "I don't want to know" situations stop here.
I'm down with letting go of electricity to a very large degree. Always good to ask what does one actually need, great place to start to cull many things. If you said choose between fish and electricity, I'd choose fish every time...but then I've had to live without all the amenities that electricity provides and know how that goes.
That's already well entrenched and the noose keeps getting tighter.
I think you've missed some valuable reading material, especially from a few months ago.
Collapse is in process, has been for some years, just on high speed now.
Have you always been this brilliant? I should stop responding to comments and forward them to you.
I think I said something about infrastructure excluding oil reserves and airplanes, I could be wrong, I'm sure you'll let me know.
Link me some of that valuable reading material I'm missing that shows where energy came from more than one location due to an unknown terror attack that caused devastation. A remote switching error from unknown source or hijacked generation facility or something. Apparently I missed it.....
