Super Fall!

Water falls are a beautiful part of nature and everyone loves them including me. But a gigantic one that powers electricity for a city, now thats a step up. Rio de Janeiro has a solar powered artificial waterfall that works day in or day out. This tower uses many solar panels and excess energy is used to help pump sea water into a tower. At night the falling water makes the energy. Who would have knew. An Eco friendly power generator that looks absolutley magnificent. Personally I think this is a great invention and proves to me that us humans might actually solve our energy problems and lessen our impact dramaticly on the Earth. This waterfall even has a shop and cafeteria for those not interested or bored with the waterfall. Even though that is imossible to happen I think that was still a good idea. Thats not all there is either. There are 360 degree sky decks and visitors can even do some bungee jumping for 90 stories high. Now isn;t bungee jumping of a water fall breathtaking. This place has EVERYTHING! Plus to counter all the carbon the city realeses into the air the have planted 3580 saplings! Now this city is someone we Americans should look up to.
