Scheller’s power plant wakes up on a starless night. Fog hangs over the Saarland Quierschied, the country road is deserted. From afar, Scheller points through the window of his car to the illuminated boiler house. Steam is already rising from the cooling tower. Even though he only slept four hours, Scheller seems alert. Shortly after getting up, he phoned the control room, everything is supposed to go according to plan that day. It looks good, says power plant manager Marc Scheller. “But it always looks that way. Until suddenly it doesn’t look good anymore.”
