Er, either it's installed and operating, as no-one in their right mind (OK, possibly only Stinky Pete) would have one on the shelf (wow, some shelf!), or it's worth a lot of money in recycleable materials!

Hello again, Guest.

Don't be lazy.

Contact Alstom Power Generation and ask them.

If the 1800MW unit was connected to lake superior, how much hydrogen would we be able to collect?

It would be a superior amount, never mind the quantity collected.

SparkStation, apart from googling everything and plagiarizing yourself, what exactly do you know ? All of your answers/responses are just copies of someone else's work, now that is both lazy and dishonest. I have commented on this before.
