Power House The Toronto Power House is the main building of the former Toronto Power Company (later operated by Ontario Hydro), located just north of the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. The plant is built on top of a deep wheel pit, with turbines at the bottom of the pit, turning generators at the top by means of long vertical shafts. The water from the turbines runs out through a brick lined tailrace which eventually comes out at the base of the falls. Construction commenced in 1903 and first power was distributed on November 21, 1906, and in its prime had a generating capacity of 137,500 horsepower. The plant ceased operations on February 15, 1974 as Ontario Hydro looked to make better use of the available water downriver at the Sir Adam Beck power plants in Queenston. In addition, the plant produced "25 Cycle" electricity, now largely unused. Except for being occupied in 1982-83 by the Sir Sandford Fleming Foundation to promote the building as a museum on the history of hydroelectric power, the building was mothballed and stood vacant. In recent years, it has been a favorite site for urban exploration, and many urban explorers view making the trip to the tailrace (commonly known as 'Confluence') as one of the 'holy grails' of urban exploration. This is due to the extreme difficulty of reaching the tailrace, and the awe-inspiring sight and sound of the falls from behind. Ownership of the Power House recently passed to the Niagara Parks Commission, who are carrying out work on the building. It is anticipated that access to the wheelpit and tailrace will soon be permanently blocked as a result.

Power House in the news
"Yahoo took control of online advertising exchange Right Media. on Thursday, giving the slumping Internet portal a head start on rivals Google and Microsoft in a heated race to build more powerful marketing vehicles." Local TV news too often dumbs down every issue, both big and small, they report many things with a serious lack of context, shifting focus to meaningless fluff, using slogans handed down from the controllers at the White House, all the while giving the unsuspecting viewer the impression that everything is great in America Land ..... biggest directory of electronic music mp3 download links techno, house, minimal, trance, drum`n`bass, jungle, electro, jazz, downtempo, ambient, chillout, hip-hop, triphop ------->>> UPDATED DAILY!
