The 3 biggest are reservoirs for Baltimore city, others are in the state Parks in Pennsylvania. Penn. has both electric only and gas. Better get used to the fact that electric is going to be required more and more. The current progressive trend is to end all gas, gasoline and diesel. The basis for this is a complete and total false narrative. Batteries are not even close to replacing the internal combustion engines. They are much better than past but still far from being practical. Instead of spending 10-15 minutes at the pump it's hours at the charger. Advertised fast charge still take 15-30 minutes and only charges to 80%. The environmental quacks never mention the manufacture of batteries or how to dispose of the old worn out ones. Never a mention that solar panels need to be replaced and old disposed of. Wind Mills kill millions of small birds and thousands of raptors. each year. Put them over the ocean and kill the migratory birds and some say cause the deaths of whales and effect fish migrations. Solar panels require rare earth, ever see a rare earth mine? Still under the current trends get ready to mothball your outboards, and join us electric only puttering along at 4-5 MPH.</p></blockquote><p></p>
