'''Saint Sigsmunt Church in [[Szydłowiec|Szydlowiec]]''' is a church that was built towards the close of the example of the Late Gothic hall church. It was built with a local sandstone. The late-Gothic silhouette of the church does not prepare a visitor for the impression made by its Renaissance interior colorful polychromy. |

'''Kårstø power station''' is a [[natural gas]]-fired [[thermal power plant]] located at the industrial site of [[Kårstø]] in [[Norway]]. The station is owned and operated by the company [[Naturkraft]], that is again owned by [[Statkraft]] and [[StatoilHydro]] and opened on [[November 2]], [[2007]]. Construction costs totaled [[Norwegian krone|NOK]] 2 billion and the turbine was delivered from [[Siemens AG|Siemens]]. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
The power station has an installed effect of 420 [[Watt|MW]], with an annual production of 3.5 [[Watt hour|TWh]], equivalent of 3% of the [[Power supply in Norway|Norwegian electrical production]]. It consumes 0.6 [[normal cubic meter|BCM]] natural gas/year, or 0.5% of Norwegian natural gas export. Emissions are 1.2 million tonnes [[carbon dioxide]] and 5 [[parts per million|ppm]] [[nitrogen oxide]]. The entire output of the station is in [[electricity]], since there is no need for [[district heating]] in the uninhabited area. Spill water is emitted at 18 °C and not utilized. |

==Controversy== |

The power station has been subject to massive controversy in Norway. Kårstø is the first commercial [[fossil fuel power station]] in Norway and [[environmentalists]] have argued that it is unnecessary to open another power station as long as Norway has the highest use of electricity per capita in the world. |

Saint Sigsmunt Church in Szydlowiec is a church that was built towards the close of the example of the Late Gothic hall church. It was built with a local sandstone.
