Whiskey or alcohol storage tanks in Schenley, PA, north of Pittsburgh. This  factory in Lockport, NY is the LEA Cogeneration Plant. It provides steam to GM component holdings (formerly Delphi thermal and interior), and electricity to the city of Lockport, NY.   Gas Turbines inside make electricity, and the exhaust heat is captured and reused to create steam. Info from Tara Hahn.   Marathon refinery in Ashland, Kentucky.  These facilities look really neat at night with lights all over.
