@mattblaze I still think the Waste Incineration Plant in Vienna (which also supplies heat to the city) is the undisputed winner in the beautification stakes with its Hundertwasser design. But I agree that the stark, often brutalist architecture of power plants has its own beauty. I love Torness Power Station on the beautiful East Coast of Scotland and Dungeness, down in the South, particularly when viewed from Derek Jarman’s Prospect Cottage garden. Both give quite an eery vibe
