Gliders use thermals ( warm updrafts) to gain altitude, lift and Momentum- Flying over the stacks of a power house- assuming all stacks were (Up) one could gain about 500 feet of lift from each stack- or 2500 feet if you hit all five from the right angle! seagulls do the same thing, conserving their wing muscles. wait till the Public service has all Five stacks fired up and you can try the idea , not too close!
