Several months ago I read quite a bit about the thermal generator slated 
for Mildura. There were a few interesting facts about the chimney -
Base Diameter - about the size of the MCG (or Telstra Stadium for the 
QLDers)
Heat - ~90C at the center
Construction - concrete

So... How do you repair a turbine that sits in a 90C oven that effectively 
never cools down?
And... Even at double the normal cooling rate with altitude, the air 
exiting the top of the stack will be greater than 80C. A few turns in that 
will melt the canopy!   8-)
