The last major hydroelectric plant built in the United States is the 2008-built North Anna Power Station's 3rd unit, which includes hydro capabilities, but it's important to note that many smaller hydro plants have been constructed since then. However, large-scale hydroelectric projects have seen a significant decline in new construction due to environmental concerns and regulatory challenges. Most new developments tend to focus on upgrading existing facilities rather than building new ones.

The first known animal rendering plant put into commercial use in the US was built in 1921. The plant rendered slaughterhouse wastes for dog food.
The last plant built in the US began construction in 1977. That's the "River Bend" plant in Lousiana.

The first US power plant was the Pearl Street Station in New York City, which was built by Thomas Edison in 1882. It was a coal-fired plant that provided electricity to customers in the area using direct current (DC) technology.
Glenn Curtiss built the first aircraft for the US Navy in 1910.
