How do you celebrate a coal power station closing?

With a children's colouring-in competition of course.
Next month the Liddell Power Station in Australia will close after 52 years of service. It is being celebrated at my son's school with a colouring competition and my son has produced a rather nice, if a little psychedelic, entry.
Liddell was a four unit coal power station of 500 MW each. Nearly all of it was built and designed by GEC in the UK and along with the Torrens Island power station near to Adelaide represented the last UK designed power stations in Australia before the UK joined the Common Market and set the scene for years of UK deindustrialisation and trade deficits within the EU's loving embrace.
