Why did you emphasize ground? You think they are going to fly a 1.7 million lb generator somewhere? (well not in one piece anyway)

Much of the times theses are moved by some ferry/barge. Thats how it got to Houston, from there ground is the only option.

From what they are saying, it takes 4 semis (two pulling and two pushing) to move the thing at 1mph.

Damn. That would be an awesome sight to see driving by. Not so much to get stuck behind.
