What will happen to Electric Beach?

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 1 points 10 months ago

The view facing inland will be a bit different as the power plant will be demolished.

And the unusual characteristics of the beach will be removed?

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago

The view of the power plant goes away. You'd need to request a copy of the planning documents to find out if anything else changes

The power plant's cooling pipes go out into the ocean and shoot warm water, which is super fun (and dangerous) to swim among. It's probably going away... Yeah, coal is bad, but that was awesome fun.

Yeah that won't remain without the power plant
