Show From Coal; Efficient Kilowatts When you flip a switch you are sending an order ' a factory an "electridi. factory." You are asking : to manufacture and dtliv a product it can't store -a product that has lo made, sent out and used i instant it is asked for. To fill these "make sr.: deliver" orders, Hunting: Canyon Plant transloru energy in coal into eledri: ity by burning it, chan?i:.: water to steam, which drive the turbine-generator.
