I'm not sure why, but reading the article I got an urge to just apply for a job to help clean up the site. The coal plant served us (humanity), and now it's time to clean up after ourselves and return the land for other use. It seems like a fitting final chapter of the coal era

There was a plan to convert the Cockenzie site into an assembly site for offshore wind turbines. I don't think that quite got there, but it now looks like there are plans to use it for landing offshore generation cables and for battery storage. Which is very fitting. https://www.eastlothian.gov.uk/info/210547/planning_and_building_standards/12312/former_cockenzie_power_station https://www.eastlothian.gov.uk/info/210547/planning_and_buil...

  Makes sense . . . the grid infrastructure is already in place at that site.
