The Miami Fort Generating Station, like another Ohio station (Beckjord Generating Station) is a dual-fuel power generating facility. It is a major coal-fired electrical power station, supplemented with a small oil-fired facility. Miami Fort is located two miles east of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, immediately north-east of the tripoint of Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, on the Ohio territory. Miami Fort Station is named for the nearby Miami Fort (not to be confused with Fort Miami in the same state). Miami Fort Generating Station is one of the two coal power plants near Lawrenceburg, Indiana, the other being Tanner's Creek Generating Station.

Famous quotes containing the words fort, power and/or station:

    Look, it’s moving. It’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive. It’s moving. It’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive!
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    Rocked in the cradle of the deep
    I lay me down in peace to sleep;
    Secure I rest upon the wave,
    For Thou, O Lord! hast power to save.
    Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)

    How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
