Watts Barr seems to be the youngest, I wonder when they started construction on that one? Could it be 23 years before it was first operable? Would that make it around the 70's when they decided to build it? I'm sure the people of the TVA are happy to have it there too. Nothing like borrowing almost 30 billion dollars to get something done!
