The Driftwood?
Yes,circa 1940.a photo I copied from face book.i.must be photographing that place right as you knew it.yet nada on the Big Blue images.
I have some stories about her to share and the diesel plant.
I'm not worried.Great pictures of the plant(Those storm clouds don't look so friendly, though. Praying your area doesn't suffer from the approaching storms)

I planned to make further comments about Big Blue but was called away for a bit.............
I'm impressed by how clean the landscaping is ..........and it was heartening that the signal lights at the tops of the towers were still flashing.
I like Big Blue!
First,The plant will be here fir some time until they can power the switching station can be houses seperately.Second the plant will after that be razed and only the foundation left.so making it nothing but useless piece of land.Third,Fpl was often asking it's percentage of power from Vero in those days when I mentioned it ran 24 /7.10 mwh of power is what is produced.Fpl also wants to cut the ties to Vero and not send power up north.imagine that.Fourth ,the plant went online in 1961 and the diesel plant was retired after they put in unit 5 as all plants must have a black out starting system. The diesel plant saved the eastern sea board!it added power to big blue whuh then could add more power and so on until the entire eastern sea board was powered up again.finally the fishhouse has an easement still owned by the family.
a plant employee who I talked to for about 30 minutes gave me that info. oh this will bite the system when it goes away.

The employee was a good reference source!
What are the plans for replacing the power currently produced?

Ouc is producing power for us.about the time I started with city Big Blue was idled per a deal with fmpa .
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Utilities_Commission
Fpl is building more plants to prepare for growth and to power down old plants.It's in Osceola county. Basically big blue would be a good use for that as both are cng plants.go figure.
The bickering is over environmental issues and emergency support.so now my county who doesn't get paid by ad valorem from the land will have to build a station way out there to respond.
Giving that size it wouldNT suprise me if like Fpua ,Vero runs a plant for either Fmpa or Ouc.cocoa is about 40 minutes east of Orlando.
This may sound elitist, but the mess is in part from ignorant politicians and voters .Neither run the grid or know this stuff. The more I meet these guys the more I know.
