TECO Energy's main subsidiary, Tampa Electric, is planning to expand the Polk Power Station to serve future electricity needs. Plans call for converting the four natural gas-fired combustion turbines into a more efficient combined-cycle unit. If we get all the necessary approvals, the $700 million project is scheduled to be running by early 2017.
The circumference of the Earth is 24,902 miles (40,075.16 km). Over the poles it is more precisely 40,008 km or 24,860 statute miles. The actual unit of measure used by Eratosthenes was the stadion.
Eratosthenes is named the father of geography. That is because he used the word geography and treated it like a proper subject. This was the first use of the word, which literally means writing about the earth in Greek. Geography also introduced the climatic concepts of torrid, temperate, and frigid zones. There is also Hecateaus who is considered to have studied Geography as a subject. But Geography is a subject which has been studied by many and overtime developed to what it is today.
