Toledo Bend Reservoir - Toledo Bend Dam and Generating Station
Exactly JR, Toledo Bend is probably 3-4 times the size of Granada, if not larger. They generate power from the generators only when they release water - a steady current is not necessary as some claim to sustain such a project. Conservation is the key, and you're right, Toledo Bend is the number one bass lake in the country. As far as generating x power to x amount of homes with a given amount of x dollars to build such a project, one must consider the payout after 10 years or so. Simple business sense. I often wondered why folks didn't install them when building a dam. They do in Texas.
