They may be too small in the background of this photo, but there are two cooling towers for a nuclear power plant, and one smokestack that I assume is also related to poter generation. I always wonder where these flat eastern states get their power from, other than fossil fuels. Out west, I didn't see any power plants, but I did see many dams blocking mountainous river valleys, and many of these are used for hydropower. Without topography, hydropower isn't practical out here in the east, so it makes sense that I should see more power plants of other types here.
