Re: LIRR to test retrofitting M7s to run off batteries

So what is happening in Ravenswood and Astoria?

My fantasy NY hydro project is that they build a tunnel from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario for peak power. A 1 meter drop in the level of Lake Erie could provide 5 terawatt hours!

Of course, then they would have to wait for the level of Lake Erie to rise again, so it's not something you can use on a regular basis. The average output of Lake Erie is only somewhere on the order of 10 gigawatts (very rough number).
