Orange Plume at Sunset
Second image in a three-image series on this power plant...
This was taken a day after yesterday's post, and it shows the same power plant on our lakeshore, but with a totally different colored plume due to another day and different light hitting the plume. Yesterday's plume was purple, and here it is orange because the late afternoon sun was lighting it up!
It may be dramatic and make for good photography, but this power plant is soon to be shuttered for good.
A coal fired plant, the Edgewater Generating Station, has operated on our city's lakeshore since 1931. That is 94 years of producing electricity for the city and the surrounding area, allowing us to live, to work, to produce, and to keep up with the modern pace of the world.
It was due to close down for good by the end of 2022.
Due to Covid and other factors, its closure was extended, though I've not heard when it will be finally shut down.
