Lake Fayette serves as the cooling pond for the Fayette Coal Plant

took a trip out to Lake Fayette this morning. The lake is big and
deep and the power lines don't cross it. The ramp is nice and steep
also. However, there is one big drawback. Because the lake is always
at least 90 degrees (seriously it is very warm) there is a lot of
algae that grows in the water and on the ramp.
