E. F. Barrett Power Station in 2021

... that there wasn't enough water in Oceanside to build more than half of the E. F. Barrett Power Station (pictured)?
Source: [1], p. 13: "Originally, the E.F. Barrett site was planned to have four units. It was determined, however, that Barnum Channel provided insufficient cooling water for four generators and units 3 and 4 were instead developed at Port Jefferson." Barnum Channel forms the border of Oceanside, New York.

Expanded enough, QPQ done, no copyvio issues noted. Picture is appropriately licenced and appears fine at small size. The hook is very nice, very creative. However, there is a small issue in that the hook is not clearly present in the article. I believe it is referring to the first paragraph of "History", but there is nothing there stating that the Barnum Channel is in Oceanside. (If it's not, I suggest the hook be tweaked to say "near Oceanside" which I feel fully retains the humour while being accurate to that situation.) CMD (talk) 14:07, 11 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Chipmunkdavis: I added a sentence to the last paragraph of "Description". Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 04:19, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

That's enough context to put it all together. CMD (talk) 04:34, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
