Looks like Didcot B Power Station might not be producing much
electricity for a while:

A major fire has broken out at Didcot B Power Station, Oxfordshire Fire
and Rescue has said.

Twenty fire appliances are at the scene to battle the fire, which has
broken out in one of the cooling towers.

The gas-burning power station has been in operation since 1997 and can
supply the power to up to one million homes, according to energy company
RWE npower.

Somebody on the news this morning was asking: so, those millions homes
will be without power?

I bet someone is very glad that the wind is just right for wind turbines today.

You could have made this part of the previous thread, actually.

The previous thread, as you call it, did NOT exist on the Berlin server
when I posted. And I double-checked in the seconds before posting.
