I have pictures of what Is called the “Stairway to Heaven”. It is the 700+ foot stairwell in the Hoover Dam in case the elevators fail. The pictures are about the midway point. They curve because the dam curves. Dhendershot ( talk) 00:19, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
What of it? 2A00:23C7:E287:1900:D030:E8F5:F817:839A ( talk) 12:27, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Listed in several websites as the engineer for the project. What’s the story? 2A00:23C7:E287:1900:D030:E8F5:F817:839A ( talk) 12:34, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
I was looking at the specs for Hoover Dam and spotted something strange ...
Installed capacity 2,080 MW
Capacity factor 23%
Annual generation 3.3 TWh (12 PJ) (2020) [3]
But 12 PJ divided by seconds in a year is 380 GW, not 2 GW. I don't know where the error entered the stream, but 12 PJ is definitely not consistent with 2.08 GW as the installed capacity rating. YodaWhat ( talk) 22:05, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
@ SPECIFICO: the consensus was to merge it. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 Hoover Dam explosion. We have to put at least a line down for a merge to be done. Iamreallygoodatcheckers t@lk 22:36, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
