Abstract :
One of the most difficult power generating and transmission projects ever attempted is being constructed in central British Columbia, Canada, 400 miles northwest of Vancouver. A 50-mile transmission line will deliver power from the Aluminum Company of Canada´s gigantic subterranean powerhouse now under construction at Kemano, over a mile-high mountain pass to the world´s largest aluminum smelter, 2 1/2 miles long, which the company is constructing at tidewater at the new town of Kitimat.
