West Virginia

The asserted location of a "Megawatt Valley" in West Virginia cannot be identified. Can a county be named?Wetman (talk) 13:48, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The source discusses Mountaineer Power Plant which is in Mason County and "four nearby giant cola-burning plants generating six-billion watts of energy (so much that this area is dubbed Megawatt Valley)" but doesn't name the other four plants. I have no way of knowing what these other plants are. Perhaps there is a way of mentioning the Mountaineer plant in the article "including he Mountaineer Power Plant in Mason County" or similar? - Dumelow (talk) 13:57, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A search for (quoted) "megawatt valley" here in WP shows no USA results. A similar search in Google, while showing many hits for the UK, shows nothing USA-related in the first few pages of results (I didn't trawl further). So I've removed the assertion.
