ENVGALLERY NORTH YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 2003: Drax is a large
coal-fired power station located near Selby in North Yorkshire,
England. It provides 7% of the electrical power required by Britain.
Although it generates around 1.5 million tonnes of ash and 22.8
million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year, Drax is the most carbon
efficient coal-fired powerplant in the UK. In 2005 Drax produced 20.8
million tonnes of carbon dioxide. The Times newspaper reported that
this is more than the total amount produced by 103 of the world's
small unindustrialized nations. By comparison, vehicles in the UK
emitted 91 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. Drax is the biggest
single source of carbon dioxide in the UK. (Photo by Jason

The plumes of smoke are simply awesome - in a depressing way!
I've used the image in a blog post about how energy efficiency makes Drax redundant at Energy-Saving News.
Keep up the good images!

Has this photograph been digitally altered. There seems to be an awful lot of water vapour rising out of those cooling towers.
