Quoted By:
Late 1970s
Live in rural Alabama in a large property with a lake, fun place to be a kid
Parents want to convert our spillway dam into a small hydroelectric plant
Contact engineering company that can do the work
Line up financing
Week before the engineers come out to start preliminary work, the spillway burst in the middle of the night, entire lake drains in hours
No more business for our retreat center since we no longer have a lake
Declare bankruptcy
Have to grow up in the city
Most of our electricity comes from coal plants
