19. A method for providing mobile electric power, the method comprising:
transporting, in a transportation mode, a first transport and a second transport to a predetermined location, the first transport and the second transport being separate transports that are independently movable in the transportation mode, wherein the first transport includes a gas turbine and an exhaust collector, the exhaust collector being in communication with an air exhaust of the gas turbine, and wherein the second transport includes an exhaust stack;
converting the first transport and the second transport to an operational mode by:
(i) positioning a first longitudinal facing side of the first transport and a second longitudinal facing side of the second transport to be substantially parallel to each other, and
(ii) connecting the exhaust collector to the exhaust stack between the first longitudinal facing side and the second longitudinal facing side; and
operating the gas turbine to generate mobile electric power.
 
1. A system for providing mobile electric power, the system comprising:
a first transport including a gas turbine and an exhaust collector, wherein the exhaust collector is in communication with an exhaust of the gas turbine; and
a second transport including an exhaust stack,
wherein the first transport and the second transport are separate transports that are independently movable in a transportation mode,
wherein, in an operational mode, a first longitudinal facing side of the first transport faces a second longitudinal facing side of the second transport, and
wherein, in the operational mode, the exhaust collector is connectable to the exhaust stack between the first longitudinal facing side and the second longitudinal facing side.
