Coal-fired plant imploded in New Jersey for battery array

Smoke and dust rise from the site of a former coal-fired power plant in Logan Township, N.J., after it collapsed when explosives were detonated to implode it on Friday, Dec. 2, 2022. The plant was razed to make way for a battery facility to store energy from clean sources such as wind and solar.
