Port Everglades Power Plant

Another strong contender for gold in synchronicity, the Port Everglades Power Plant implosion in 2013 really is a marvel. The four coal boilers built in the 1960s go in order from left to right, then the four smokestacks go from right to left. Perfect 10 for choreography.

The local news narration is also aces, complete with the breaking news intro. We also learn from a reporter on the scene, Katie Johnson, that it will be replaced by an “energy efficient plant” with “fuels that will actually be better for the environment and will actually be saving customers money.” FPL, the utility that runs the plant, renamed the site the Port Everglades Next Generation Clean Energy Center. Wind? Solar? No! You guessed it, it’s now a natural gas plant. Which in my book is a big old deduction.
