	Niagara Falls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The story of Niagara Falls in the 20th century is largely that of efforts to harness the energy of the Falls for hydroelectric power and to control the rampant development on both the American and Canadian sides which threatened the area's natural beauty.
		In 1881, under the leadership of Jacob Schoellkopf, enough power was produced to send direct current to illuminate both the Falls themselves and nearby Niagara Falls village.

		Ford's records say the hydro plant provides a $4 million direct benefit to the assembly plant each year.
		Noble says the hydro plant is a compelling reason why Ford's St. Paul assembly plant is the perfect place to manufacture the kind of car he says everybody wants -- fuel efficient and environmentally sound.
