It is located about 45 miles (72 km) due west of downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The Palo Verde Generating Station is the largest power plant in the United States in net generation, averaging about 3.3 gigawatts. The Palo Verde Generating Station is located in the Arizona desert, and is the only large nuclear power plant in the world that is not located near a large body of water. The power plant evaporates the water from the treated sewage from several nearby cities and towns to provide the cooling of the steam that it produces." Hummm-mm -- Could this [treated, evaporated sewage effluent] be related to the continual problems with e-coli bacteria being found in nearby Romaine lettuce growing fields?
