The Miami Fort Power Station is located on the banks of the Ohio River in Hamilton County, Ohio immediately east of the tripoint of Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. This power plant is a dual-fuel power generating facility, consisting of a major coal-fired electrical power plant that is supplemented with a small oil-fired facility.

With its origin dating back to the first coal fired unit in 1949, the most recent coal unit was commissioned in 1978. Oil fired units were commissioned in 1971. The facility was originally owned by Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company (CG&E) which became Duke Energy. Currently Dynegy is the owner.

The huge plant is impossible to miss when you are traveling on I-275 crossing the Ohio River. It is east of the bridge and the columns of smoke at times are dominant in the skies. As of this writing two coal-fired units have been decommissioned. It has been announced that by the end of the year 2027 or sooner the Miami Fort Power Station will be retired.

Big stacks and cooling towers. We have the Four Corner power plant, which you might know about from your time in Arizona. It has a interesting history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Corners_Generating_Station

I do remember the ongoing flaps concerning the 4 Corners back in the 70’s. Environmental stuff was really getting fired up, I remember the activists on the UofA campus.

I have yet to see what is planned for the country’s power grid over the next few decades.
