Pretty cool.
I love when things crash (well, at least when that is the idea.)
Hooray!
Wonderful to see the last of that dirty, nasty, coal-burning plant come down in such spectacular fashion! And to see the new, smaller, cleaner plant coming up just beyond the demo zone. Well done!
Yes, but
The new plant will be using natural gas. I don't know how often you come to the Universal Hub, but Adam posts from time to time about a natural gas pipeline project that people are not too happy about.
To be perfectly honest, I'm with you, and I don't think a natural gas pipeline of the magnitude above should go by an active quarry, but people do need to think long and hard about our increasing reliance on natural gas.
waiting for the conspiracy theories.
