Grand Coulee Dam

Grand Coulee Dam is a hydroelectric gravity dam on the Columbia River in Washington. It is the largest electric power producing facility in the United States, and the largest concrete structure in the U.S. When completed in 1941, it was the largest manmade structure ever built. The reservoir it backs up is called Franklin Delano Roosevelt Lake, named after the United States president who presided over the conception and completion of the dam. Quotes Now the world holds seven wonders that the travelers always tell,Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well.But now the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land,It's the big Columbia River and the big Grand Coulee Dam. Woody Guthrie, The Grand Coulee Dam Don't feel sorry for yourselfI'll always wait for youYour ghost is a lightshow at nightOn the Grand Coulee Dam.The river is watching youAt the drive-in tonightWho do they comfort nowSince I've gone away? Neko Case, Ghost Wiring Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,You're an idiot, babe.It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
