So sad. We'll come to regret the destruction of Ferrybridge C in our current electricity supply crisis. When wind speeds drop National Grid cannot rely upon wind farms. Hence the remaining coal-fired power stations in the UK are on standby at present and will be for the foreseeable future until new nuclear generating capacity is available. Keltbray I am sure are doing a very professional job but nonetheless this is a very short-slighted act of industrial vandalism.
This is a horrendous waste of a perfect part of our power grid and national energy security. This process of decarbonisation of the power industry will be regretted n the years to come !
The UK could design and build proper stuff back in the day. We could build an immense fleet of coal-fired and nuclear behemoths. Cathedrals of electricity production. Not anymore. We don't have the skills and capabilities to create equipment like Ferrybridge C today. The video, showing the demise of this great "servant of the nation", is a metaphor for the decline of British manufacturing.
Sad to see that saw it built saw it demolished worked there for 40 years 😢

I agree.
This looks awesome mate 😎
Ridiculous how this shite government has got rid of these stns so quick loads of board men out of work and contractors
Amazing how 3 years of filming can be condensed into 3m and 23 seconds and tell the story.
And now we are living through a government induced energy crisis. Thankfully government has the solution too (sarcasm intended).
