- Why this image
- I wanted a plain symbol of the story's two halves: power generation on one side, a court on the other, with a level scale between them because nothing has been decided on the merits. I kept it abstract, with no people, logos, text or likeness of the real plant, so it can't be mistaken for evidence.

Abstract symbolic editorial illustration, wide 16:9 landscape. On the left, a row of smooth stylized cylindrical turbine forms in brushed steel, rendered as simple geometric shapes, with soft translucent heat haze rising from them into a pale dusk sky. On the right, a set of tall classical stone columns, simplified and abstract, standing on a broad stone base. Between them, a large balanced scale made of thin brass lines hangs level and still in the air. Calm, restrained composition with generous negative space, muted palette of slate grey, warm sandstone, brass and soft dusk orange, gentle film grain, quiet and serious mood. Not a real place and not documentary. Strictly no people, no faces, no hands, no human figures, no logos, no flags, no text, no letters, no numbers, no signs, no documents, no readable writing.
